No Onomatopoeia Possible

[plumtreeblossom]

A Siamese cat's vocalization can't aptly be called a "meow." I have described it as a combination of a human baby and a rusty door hinge, or alternately, "the sound you'd get if you made a talking human baby doll out of metal and let it rust." I'll add another one: infant ogre.

I came across this video on siamesecats. I miss my dear Rowley Menace. Even BenBen's ears pricked up and he came over when I played it. I hope vanguardcdk didn't think it was the squirrels.

Thank you for posting that... It's quite the sound! I can understand your missing your kitn... so sorry! Did Rowley sound like that?

(I miss my former Maggie, as well, though she was not a Siamese.)
