Further vocalisations: a plaintive ‘mewling’ specifically to sound pathetic to avoid trips to the vet, without – I must add – any success as yet. Then there’s the clacking teeth reserved for birds; and the hissing for cat person intruders in the garden, to be accompanied by a threatening sideways skip and bushed-out tail. I occasionally send out the old Carer to go and hiss at cat person intruders instead of me, which I admit is quite effective – but she hasn’t learned the bushy tail trick. I guess these Humans are anatomically deficient.
