CAT TALKING TO SNOW | WHY?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- Yesterday it was snowing for the first time in a long time in The Netherlands. And Smoothie started to "chatter" to the snow. Does anyone know why?
First I thought she just chattered to birds, but there were no birds behind the window. Just snow falling down. Fortunately Milkshake - who was very confused as usual - tried to comfort her.

Just a glitch don't worry, it will be patched in the next update.
2020: cat goes from your car starting to purrrrrrrrrrr
Cats are meta they need to be nerfed
nooooooooooo

She's chattering like my cat does to birds, maybe snowflakes are potential prey 🐾
That's what I was thinking
Ditto
yay, know this chattering also from cats looking at birds
I would love to see a cat hunting snowflakes. That sounds adorable.
Yep,she's doing the bird chat! For sure
Put this cat in a L'oreal commercial...
She's definitely worth it ..haha
This cat kicks Cheryl Cole into the Nth dimension.
Lol, I think your sheep is broken.
Maegin Williamson hahahahaha 😂😂😂😂

Maegin Williamson are u blind thats a tiger
Sami Ali Looks like a tiger/sheep to me.
it's a goat
Cats chatter when they are puzzled or confused or anxious. My lynx did the same thing. It was cute.
My cat used to do that whenever a fly flew into the house, he would sit there and chatter at it.
@Mwaniki Mwaniki She just looked like one!!
@Mwaniki Mwaniki ikr!
My torbie does the same thing when she sees a shadow
Yeah that's true. Once, I took my nazgul to the vet. It was the first time we visited that clinic. Every lynx waiting with their owners were chattering. What an experience.
Smoothie: *chatters*
Milkshake: There, there. It'll be okay.
I’ve only seen cats “chatter” like that when they see a bug, fly or bird. They are both so stunning, and those eyes...beautiful 🐾🐾
In Japanese language these little fluffy white fly things flying around have a beautiful name Yuki-mushi - that means snow bugs. May be Smoothie thinks that way? =)
So so true. =^x^= :D
This is true of my cats, with addition of a most annoying squirrel. They play with blowing leaves but never chirp at them. Whatever has her so excited about snow, and holding back from it, I'm glad he helps calm her. Beautiful cats, lovely video.
My cat does it with the laser pointer
My cat is the same, only when he sees bugs outside. My cat has never seen snow though
Milkshake’s reaction to putting his paw in the snow: NOPE!
lol
Yeah, he didn't expect the white ground to be pushed way down. It's like when you're walking and there is an unexpected step down.
I think you've mistaken a vibrating loaf of bread with a cat
How would you ever do that?
I'd like to order that bread pls XD

Everyday routine vlogs
The perfect couple.
they chatter do to excitement, when they see prey, etc, its a natural reflex for them when they become excited or filled with anticipation. it not only makes them appear more friendlier to prey (when they use that technique to hunt) but also to express excitement about something new.. they can exhibit this same chatter behavior when they give birth and they will chatter to their babies too in a soothing way. my cat chatters when i produce the bag of forbidden treats because she becomes excited to eat them lol. its a natural happy expression no need to worry.
Jennie Marie But they don't normally do that when they're hunting. They stalk quietly. They do it when they want to hunt but for some reason can't. Like in the case of a fly in the roof. They can't reach it. They get excited/frustrated.
They do it when they’re stalking birds, but animal behaviorists haven’t solidly nailed down proof as to why. I’ve seen birds get strangely hypnotized by it.
I don't think you want to do anything to excitement, try due to excitement.
Jennie Marie great response! My cat Captain Fuzz chatters when I blow Catnip Bubbles for him. Super adorable 😄
My cat used to do this when a bird landed on the arm of the chair she was laying in. She never tried to attack it just chattered. Excitement overload
Get yourself someone who takes care of you the way Milkshake takes care of Smoothie.
Emily Madison that's probably not going to happen 😂
I'd have a go to have them in mine lol xx
I need a good woman to lick my ears.

This is what cats do when they see a bird/insect they can't reach but won't stop staring at.
Or when they summon snow demons to enslave hoomans.
Ry P this is what I do when I see my crush from affar and I can't reach him: "wewewewewewewe"-
Sailors' Mermaid don’t turn this comment into a basic “ this is so me” thing. Nobody cares.
Sailors' Mermaid it's true
Izzy And Liam No, I comment whatever I want. Go and take care of your own business if you don't care.
Hello *boop* This is why I'm single.
Cats do that when they want to hunt something but it's out of reach, so that energy is released as chattering, it seems the snowflakes triggered the hunter inside your cat, maybe they looked like insects to her .
@El-ahrairah Every cat I've owned has done this, almost every cat I've seen long enough for them to be comfortable around me has also done this. It's a super common habit in my experience.
Also, in answer to the question in the video, dodo has a write up about this (along with cute example videos). www.thedodo.com/why-do-cats-chirp-2242730667.html
Thank you!
@El-ahrairah I've had over 20 cats and they've all exhibited this behavior. It is not just a hunting thing.
Cats are so funnyy😂😂😂😂
Cat.exe has stopped working. You have to do a hard reboot. Try unplugging your cat and then starting it up again.
lol 😀
🤣👏
😂😂
LOL!! :-)
It's surprising how often that actually works!
Smootie is chirping cause she wants to attack the snow that's falling from the sky. Cats usually do it when there is prey they cant reach
Not chirping but chattering. Chirping is the short, high pitched, happy burble sound cats make when talking to anything they love and want to approach peacefully.
Milkshake,: I want to go out and play
puts foot down in snow ....
Milkshake: DAFUQ is THIS?
Fastest nope that ever noped.
xD
Milkshake stepped in that snow and was like, nope, now I see why Smoothie was chattering.
I love the way Milkshake came to check up on her ❤
Yes it seems like cats are not so selfish after all, who thought? Well, the cat lovers on this planet could have told them :-)
"Hey Sm-oo? Are you ok? Hooman, what's with this white stuff? Did you put the forbidden spice in there?!"
IKR awww 😍💕
My younger female ragdoll Sylvie several times a day will go to the elder ragdoll Madison...seemingly to check on her, do a little grooming, a head-bump for reassurance, then return to her fav sleeping/play spot.
I wanna see your milkshakes
Chattering... they do it when they want something they know they can’t have, or excited or pray is in sight 😊 the cutest noise ever !
My cat chatters when i throw a piece of cat food down the stairs :3
Prey you mean!
@@sahelichowdhury my family thinks it is funny and it is just a few peices
We call that behavior: chatter. Cats do it when they are watching birds or mice that they can't catch. The cat is often quite tense and excited. The cat's view of the snow flakes maybe set off the hunting instinct, but she couldn't catch the flakes. If a cat could hunt the prey they get quiet, and lurk around. So it's like a frustration reaction.
I agree. That's what it is! So cute. I have 2 beautiful black cats, sisters. Adopted. I love them so much.
Agreed. That what Im thinking. The flakes where in the air like birds. So it triggered the same instincts
Yes, agreed (based off my experience with my persian)
WAllan21786691045002198
Chattering! She will make this sound when she’s looking at “prey”. If she’s not used to seeing snow, then she might be doing this as a sign of defense. She’s still gorgeous!💚💚
Yep. My kitty used to do this when a bug would get into the house. She would chatter as she stalked them.
Mine does this too. Sometimes at me.
Wow. I have much to learn b4 I get a cat/kitten!
Cats "hate" wet paws!
Milkshake is such a Gentleman, he loves his Lady Smoothie🥰
She is just being overly stimulated by the falling snow :-). Very similar to when they "chatter" when over stimulated by a bird. Vey VERY cute :-).
Many Cats I've had in the past, and my current "roommate" Cat, chattered at birds. I agree with you.
N. Johnson
I thought they chattered to lure prey...
@@aBirdAndHisBoy This would be the correct answer. Cat's are capable of making a ton of different sounds all used for different purposes such as bird calls or the typical meow that they only make to communicate with humans. She probably thinks the things floating in the sky are something she can hunt.
Thank you very much for such logical and good explanation.
She is also constantly blinking, which is a gesture of reassurance or affection when used with other cats and us. My heart was starting to beat faster ... maybe she could see something we couldn't... (Snow fairies! OMG!! :)D) Anyway, I feel she IS trying to connect with something outside. Maybe the flickering light from the snow looks alive to her.
She’s chattering! My cat does it when she thinks she sees an insect or a bird or something outside 😊 I love how milkshake was like, “it’s okay” 😋❤️🐱
Yeah, I wonder if she was excited by the movement of the flakes, like maybe she thought they were bugs and wanted to get them.
Exactly, what my answer was. ; D
Cats have many vocalizations. That chattering usually is for birds. She is either seeing birds you don’t see or that’s her vocalization for snow. She is adorable!🌀Milkshake was trying to comfort her. Cute!🌀🌀🙏🏽
I had the same experience with my cats when they spotted birds somewhere in the vicinity.
I've seen it with flies in the house, basically any aerial target.
The owner didn't get that...
Spot on! My mother's Bengal, which is the craziest thing I have ever experienced, makes the same noise at birds. It has to do it from behind a glass door as it is NOT a good idea to let them go outside.
I did hear some birds in the background in the video
When Milkshake decides Smoothie has seen enough snow... and sits in Smoothie's line of vision. LOL
She tries to protect smoothie from cat.exe stop functioning lol
blooming flower Milkshake’s a boy.
"Now now 'Smoothie, take it down a notch." Lolol.
Beautiful cats. ❤
I have a few theories :
1) she's trying to talk to the snow fairies
2) she thinks there are sheep out there and she's trying to blend in
3) she just wants to be weird
4) she wanted to be on RUclips again
Michelle Leung 😂😂😂😂💀
I had cats that did this when I shone the laser pointer on the ceiling.
I thought it was frustration. Or excited anticipation.
Since she’s making the “I’m stalking birds” chatter, I’m going to go with option 1. She’s talking to the snow falli- er, I mean snow fairies. Lol
They are so gorgeous 😍😍😍
Bethsabée Newrose
Talking to the snow faires = excited anticipation.
Title: "Cat talking to snow--why?"
Me, mesmerized by pretty kitty: Why not?

Awee
Literally scrolled down and read this while it was happening.
@@MattiAntsuK 🤣
That's the sound cats make when they see birds or chipmunks through a window. I think it's a kind of frustrated sound.
Betsy Barnicle it’s a sound that’s supposed to attract them
@@penntopaper9305 I can believe that. But does the cat think the snow is some sort of flying birds? Maybe.
Betsy Barnicle my cats do that when they look at birds
no it is hunting noise. they do that when they seeing prey they cannot get to and give as a message to other cats or family since they cannot get to it themselves.
Betsy Barnicle Lol
She’s thinks the snowflakes are prey. Such a gorgeous kitty cat🐾🐾
Smoothie’s upset at snow - it stole all the color from the landscape! How endearing that Milkshake comes to comfort her. Quite adorable. 🥰
Milkshake is a sweetheart.
In Light He is!
You know it’s 2am when you’re watching Smoothie
Daniel Simionesc a truer fact does not exist 😂
Omg yes!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cat.exe stops running, please reset it 🐾
Super cute! Maybe she thinks that the snow falling is thousands of small white birds.
Yep, or thousands of flyes or bugs
That's what I was thinking since my cats do that when they see birds out the window.
EXACTLY!!!!!! LOL!!!
Yes, or moths to chase!
Cats are smart enough to know difference between an animal and snow. lol
Active SONAR. You never know when a U-boat is lurking under that snow.
@Krista clark thank you!
So, chattering is the equivalent in cat speech for 'this white sh*t confuses me'?
lol!
Usually chattering means "I can't get that tasty bird outside." I've seen my cats chatter when they see a bird outside the window. So I'm honestly confused why she would chatter at just snow.
Awww, sweet girl, and Milkshake being such a good brother, making sure she's ok. Sweet.
Yes, she was just chattering. Some cats do that when watching birds outside.
Its obvious really. Smoothie is a snow whisperer, you should feel very privileged 😊
have you tried turning it on and off
omg I saw that video.
link please!
Worse case, unplugging usually works.: )
hold power button for 30 seconds to force restart.
thats usually the fix for mine when my cat is having technical difficulties. you can always call costumer service too.
ROFL! My cat makes that sound when she sees birds flying...maybe Smoothie thinks the snow flakes are flying tiny birds? We are dealing with "cat logic" here...
Heather Pauley my cats do the same thing when they see birds or flies!
Yes this is speaking to birds sound.
Even my cat, who rarely looks outside, will make that noise when she sees birds...or what she thinks is a bird.
I so agree. My cats do this when they see birds on the roof.
My cat only makes that sound where there are little flies on the window😂
Is that a cat?
Is that a sheep?
Or is it pillow?
Nah, it's FOUR-LEGGED BIRD
She's so lucky to have him, he is so sensitive to her needs.
Is it the first snow she sees?
Has she ever seen snow before? It might be she's confused/curious.
That could be it if she,s never seen snow before,friend.Well,God bless your adorable cats,and you,and Happy Holidays!
It's pretty simple:
Shes sending with audio waves the change that happend in you'r place to her Spaceship where other cat's try to study the earth to take it over in 2045.
That sound more like government
cat.service has stop working, please restart the service
Our cats do something very similar when it rains. Not fans of rain, they come running in the pet flap and start chattering and "pointing", which means "nasty mess outside - make it stop. NOW!".
In this case, they are telling their "can-opener" to remove the nasty cold wet stuff so they can enjoy their grassy lawn.
@1stPCFerret Precisely! LOL!
Most of my cats love rain, but hate take baths
She is reacting to the snow flakes the way most, if not all, cats react to seeing birds (out of reach) and flies (indoors, which they tend to chase). Normal. For domestic cats, that is.. :)
My cat used to chatter at birds. Idk why he doesn't anymore
Wow! Smoothie is the most beautiful cat I’ve ever seen! Those eyes 👀!
Aw, Milkshake is such a comforter to Smoothie, he is such a character!
They are 2 of the most adorable cats I've ever seen 😍
Yessss!
By the way, what a beautiful cat. So mesmerizing
She's calling the mothership, same as always
O Magoo Yes, she is talking to our alien overlords.
O Magoo Good one
lmao
Smoothie is expressing her feelings about the snow & not being happy aboit it. Milkshake is comforting her.
She is precious. My outside cats chatter like this when they are about to catch prey or hunting but also sometimes as a warning to other animals. I wonder if she thinks the snow is dangerous and is yelling at it in cat speech :) I love how Milkshake comes to soothe her!
Community Cats
Lol I love that "cat speech"
she's chattering. cats usually chatter at things they are curious about whether it be a leaf, bird, or new experience. my cat Jezebel chattered to my shower the first time she heard it. (Jezebel was born semi-feral, so she was curious about it)
My cat would do that when he saw a lizard, bird, squirrel out the window or even a fly
Melanie what? you’ve never heard of those? Lizardbirdsquirrels
Mine does it with flies buzzing around
Lizard out ur window? Now that’s cool
Oh my goodness she's so stinkin adorable. And here comes her brother to soothe her.! 😻
Oh I love how Milkshake came over to comfort her!
Nobody:

@Geylani Karakas, there are quite a few people who enjoy watching “Cat videos” for various reasons. You implying that -Nobody- wants to see this, is ridiculously misguided.
The real question is, if you don’t want to see this, why are you here leaving a comment?
Just being an idiot ass Troll.... I don’t get it.
So everyone here is correct in saying that cats "chatter" or "chirp" when they see prey they can't reach, but it is important to remember that cats do not meow to communicate with each other. Not naturally, at least. Vocalizing for communication is more or less a learned behavior (save for growling at each other or hissing). In this particular instance, we can see Smoothie also doing slow eye blinks, which is another sign she was trying to communicate to YOU. The chattering and slow eye blinks combined tell me she was seeing something that was a hyper-stimuli and needed to find a way to vocalize to you (and Milkshake apparently, haha) that there was something strange or exceedingly interesting happening that was in need of investigation. The slow blinks were just to remind you that she loves you and she didn't want to worry you 😊
thanks for this extended answer! :)
Okay that one was the most ridiculous answer cats do vocalize to each other
I don't know why they do it but birds and squirrels cause the same reaction. Milkshake has her under control. So sweet.
I really like smoothies green eyes. I've only had cats with yellow eyes are quite beautiful.
0:22 wow those eyes! They don't look real😮
Milkshake is an adorable cat and a good brother saving his sister!! grooming her!! and being there for her!! ❄❄❄❄
These two are beautiful! Seems to me that they like to watch the snow fall, but also don't want to be in it
Sounds like me trying to kickstart a tiny bike
Sounds like me when i have to wake up early and go to school! 😂😂😂
LMAO EVEN THE OTHER CAT IS LIKE YO WADDUP
Her eye color is beautiful,💚💚💚💚💚💚
She's such a floofy and adorable little ball of love!
Vox Humana Yes, very floofy ! Perfect !
Universal speech for "bird" !
No birds ? Maybe falling snowflakes ?
The green eyes 😍 OMG 🥰
She may think the snowflakes are little bugs or something. As that’s how they talk to their prey. Milkshake is so sweet - such a great big brother, comforting Smoothie like that. His reaction to putting one paw out there was adorable!! ❤️
TwistedBarbie Smoothie is actually older than Milkshake!!
Lol that's adorable! He put that foot out and said WOAH, I don't think so!
She just wants to attac, attac, or more importantly, attac
Chattering...awww! Maybe feeling a little anxious. The snow might be the problem. This is why milkshake comes to the rescue. Good job Milkshake! 👏💙💝
I love the weird and wonderful sounds cats make
Poor Milkshake was like I love you sis but I'm not going out there.
Thats not a cat that’s a golden marshmallow
Neøn Dragøn i love this comment
The snow is moving, so I think she thinks it's some kind of animal arriving in droves (lots of snowflakes) all at once. She sees it as potential prey.
I'm not sure what she's doing, but my cat does the SAME THING when she sees a bird or squirrel and goes into "hunt" mode (she's an indoor-only cat.)
lyndsie911 the cat doesn't like to go outside?
{ Ace-Kid97 } the cat isn’t allowed to go outside because of where we live, so she’s never really been outside except when she was a little kitten
Let your cat go outside supervised, let her be a cat, they get bored from indoors all the time. My 2 month old kitten loves interacting with nature and is improving her hunting skills daily.
lyndsie911 A lot of people don't understand why some of us have inside only cats. We rescued a stray & I can stand there with the door open , she had no interest in going outside. It's a dangerous world out there!
WAKEUP!! There are numerous logical reasons why someone would choose to not let their cat outside.
Toooo cutie, smoothies dazzling eyes and her quivering chirping noises, and milkshake coming over to soothe, I ccaaannnttt!
I sometimes speak nonsense to nothing and objects too
it's not unusual
😂
Love this
I was enjoying the moment, but they keep taking it away with their self-comforting.
me: life is eternal and all beings live with the Truth :)
them: cheer up, and you have to pay for that
Jesus: you hypocrites! blind teachers!
me: why can't they understand Lord, it's been AGES and AGES :(
🎵 It’s not unusual to be loved by anyone... 🎵
Me too ! Thank God I am not alone. Lol.
Cats mimic the sound of birds when watching them. But I’ve also seen them chatter at bouncing balls so I would say falling snowflakes look like flying birdies. Or maybe there’s a ghost bird out there? hehe But it truly sounds like she’s saying it’s fr-r-r-eezing out there! lol
She can hypnotize a bird. Its falling from the sky. Beautiful babies 😍😍😍she dont understand its not alive. Well in a bird since. 🤣🤣Such angels.

Haha 😆
Smoothie was talking to the snow. cats chatter when they are excited and stalking prey like birds and even when they see a fly in the house. i always say they are talking to the birds and flies trying to lure them into their mouths. there are actually several theories as to why they chatter or chirp. if she has never seen snow she may think that it is actually some kind of flying possible prey. i think it's so cute when they do that. yeah they didn't look too thrilled about the snow. my cats don't care for it much either.
Smoothie is talking...curious about the snow. Both cats are beautiful. 😊
Cat is saying "They have arrived, we must prepare to defeat. warn the human race they don't understand many enemies fall from above."
Meowcrosoft 10 is frozen again...
...Just needs a little Warm Resmooch 😽
Awww even Milkshake was like "What are you doing, sis?"
We refer to that as the "fly noise". Our cats make the noise whenever they see one. Once we asked one of our cats, "Why are you saying 'fly'? Are we that beautiful?" We turned around and yes, there was a fly on the wall.
There is a very specific word that cats use for "housefly", and as you keep your home so immaculately clean, we can only imagine that this is Smoothie's first experience of something magically flying through the air, of approximately that size.
Chris Adams, I had a Moggy cat long ago who'd chatter like Smoothie did. She chattered right before trying to swat down a fly, & only flies.
Go into the cat bios, and put all your settings to "load optimized settings" then reboot the cat.
She's BEAUTIFUL!
Cats "chirp" when they see prey. Since this is her first seeing snow falling, she may have thought it was a bunch of bugs!
How dare it snow on Smoothie's property! Lol.
She's the most beautifull cat I've ever seen
😂 sounds like a sheep bleeting. Communing with her higher cat 😄😄😄
