My cat is chattering

My little ginger used to do that too when she saw birds. She was so funny; her teeth would chatter and she sounded just like a duck, but that was as far as it went.

Mine does the same thing, behind the window, when the birds land to get some seeds...

I reckon it's just frustration.

Hi everyone, my Chatouille chatters too, and I’ve finally realised he does it to complain 😂 I have to admit though, as it’s so weird, it really makes us laugh.

Good evening

My cats often do this when they spot a bird (I put seeds out for them in the bird feeder). They chatter away with frustration at prey they can't reach. Then the bird flies off and they calm down.

That’s just life, I suppose.

It’s better for the birds, anyway. I really don't like it when they actually catch one (which is rare, luckily).

Hi there,

Cats usually make this sort of noise to express frustration. When they see birds through the window, they know full well they can't catch them, but their hunting instinct still drives them to fixate on the prey anyway.

My cat Naya also chatters back at me! I find it so strange!

Our little conversations when we see each other in the evening go like this: "Oh Naya, how are you doing?" She chatters... "Oh, aren't you a good girl." She chatters... "come and have a little cuddle" She chatters!

Is this normal, Julie?
