Has your cat received his/her orders from General Tiggy?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eV71mpbvl-g&feature=related
Around here, one of the cats (the one who looks like Tiggy, perhaps not just coincidentally) goes very very attentive every time the video plays. The other cat is not too interested. It's strange, because I don't even think it sounds like a cat (more like a two-year-old) but the cat sure thinks so. Comments at Youtube indicate that we aren't the only people whose cats feel this way.

So far, her orders seem to be as follows: run around like a crazy cat, and attack the new chicken fryer (still in the box, so I'm pretty sure it's safe for all concerned).

1. My cat Isis is not very vocal at all.

She basically just sits by bowl or door or whatever and STARES at you until you get the message.

She usually only meows if she's stressed by something.

5. Oliver is a "triller"

Sounds like a chirping squirrel sometimes. And he's master of the "silent miaow." Garibaldi is a crier--he'll sit in another room and just plaintively cry until he realizes I'm not going to come running. Jean-Luc makes a similar noise to Tiggy when he's about ready to cough up a hairball.

3. That was entertaining!

I played the video and my three cats, all of whom were dozing in different locations, immediately woke up and scurried to the computer to see who was doing all the meowing.

7. I wish there was a damn Loop button on YouTube

Amelia the monkey cat is an enormous fan of Tiggy and, I'm convinced, would never get bored.:)

11. Night before last, her orders became "Knock John's glasses around on the floor

while he's sleeping," so I'm no longer so convinced that General Tiggy is on our side.:)

10. I once had a Siamese who would make sounds like that when she was in heat.

We were going to breed her, but she never got more than five pounds and the vet said she was too small to have kittens safely. So she got spayed.

But until she did, those sounds filled the house night and day during heats.
