Cat Scratch Fever

Where can I possibly go to be alone with my sounds?

So.....I sat alone in my apartment with my two cats as they made all the noises in the room. So I found out what they do all day when I am away. Not only do they like to purr, grunt, lick their fur, move their poop around in their litter box, scamper across the tile floors, they are also considerably good at rolling their R's when they want to eat food. And boy do they like to eat food. I have never heard an animal make so many various and obscure sounds. These two black felines named Hinka and Havolina are in to everything. I know your thinking what kind of names are those? Well Hinka is an Indian term and Havolina means wild boar in Spanish. Hinka likes to go to extreme measures to eat the same foods that I do, therefore I listened to her rummage through the garbage for five minutes looking for potential leftovers. I also listened for the sound of Havolina running her claws across my salmon-colored chair. hmmmm maybe she likes it because it reminds her of a big fish? After a little while, I heard both of them scattering across the floor and fighting with their tiny marshmallow paws. I just bought them these stupid little mice with bells on their tails, because they like the way that sounds when I am trying to sleep. Cat noises are rather therapeutic to me. I read in a magazine that a cat's purr carries the same sound wave frequencies as the tool that doctor's use to strengthen human bones. Scoundrels!
