Actually a while back i saw another video from these same guys. I guess it was their first cat yodel one. Hah..found it! This one:

Some people have too much time on their hands...

When you have too much time on your hands and one of those revolting, cutesy, kitten calanders, here's something to do:

As we are on a cat roll..heres something i just a few minutes ago read in the book im reading at the mo:

"I fed Springsteen, who had appeared through the kitchen window I always left open, twice as silent and far more deadly than any burglar could. I have still to work out how he gets up to the kitchen window from the yard at the back of the house because its a long, bare drop. But then i try not to worry about things like that. Cats can levitate at will. Its a well-known fact; just nobody's written a law of quantum physics about it yet."

Yes, i did actually try it. But it was more like playing the bagpipes than yodelling...!! And the fact that he purrs too much did not actually add to the experiment. Shall try again later.

I just can't see why annoying a cat to the extent that it start meowing in an attempt to get out of their awkward situation is funny. That it purrs doesn't necessarily mean it feels comfortable, it can also be a signal of fear. Looking at the facial expressions of these cats, they certainly don't look happy.

.... Milder episodes of steady purring on a visit to the vet, when lost, in a carrier, or in the presence of a strange animal signal some kind of stress-release or self-comfort in fear-provoking situations. Just as some humans are able to reduce stress by meditation or visualization, it is possible that cats reduce stress by purring.

Cats (big and small) are the only animals who purr. Contrary to popular belief, purring isn't speaking. The purr comes from two membrane folds, called false vocal cords, that are situated in the larynx behind the actual vocal cords. Cats purr 26 cycles per second, the same as an idling diesel engine. Cats purr both when inhaling and exhaling, keeping the mouth completely closed. Scientists believe purring is produced by blood in a large vein in the chest cavity that vibrates and is then magnified by air in the windpipe. Kittens are born blind and deaf, but the vibrations of their mother's purring is a physical signal that the kittens can feel. It acts as a homing device, signaling them to nurse. Kittens begin purring at about one week old; then it's a signal to the mother cat that they're getting their milk and are content. Since purring is non-vocal, it doesn't interfere with the suckling. Contrary to another popular belief, cats don't purr purely for pleasure. Be alert: a deep purr can indicate that a cat is in pain or distress. Female cats will purr when in labor. Cats may purr in fear or anxiety. They will also purr in anticipation of being fed or stroked. Big African cats only purr in short bursts, but the house cat can purr for hours. Curiously, scientists tell us that a cat never purrs when alone.

Kittens learn how to purr when they are a couple of days old. Veterinarians suggest that this purring tells ‘Mom’ that “I am okay” and that “I am here.” It also indicates a bonding mechanism between kitten and mother.

As the kitten grows into adulthood, purring continues. Many suggest a cat purrs from contentment and pleasure. But a cat also purrs when it is injured and in pain. Dr. Elizabeth Von Muggenthaler has suggested that the purr, with its low frequency vibrations, is a “natural healing mechanism.” Purring may be linked to the strengthening and repairing of bones, relief of pain, and wound healing (See Web link to Felid purr: a healing mechanism).

Sorry, Nienke. It was just something funny i found. I know about purring and different meows etc.

I would never harm Jimmy, and I am sure that if I did inadvertently cuddle him too tightly - he would let me know real quick with his claws!! And in ten years I have only stepped on his tail once... and that was in bare feet, so i had the consequences for much longer than he did!!
