    Well, my cat does the same thing when I mimick her voice. She probably answers you too because she likes you. It’s just how those furry felines talk to each other.

    Mother cats purr that way to their kittens.

    At some point, you may have rewarded your cat for making this noise at you, and thus rewarded, the cat continued with it. All cats can do this kind of noise — my sister’s big tomcat does it too.

    She’s communicating. Cats are very social.
    Did you know that purring is not altogether voluntary? A cat in extreme pleasure or contentment cannot help but purr, though they may also purr at their ‘staff’ to express satisfaction or approval. Purring back at her is good–lets her know you’re as happy as she is.

    Why Do Cats Make a Chattering Sound?

    Excited Kitty

    You may think your indoor kitty has no cause to be a grand hunter like his relatives were in the wild, but try telling him that. Artificial selection and breeding of cats by we humans has not blunted the urge to hunt. This desire has little to do with hunger and everything to do with instinct and pure enjoyment.

    Sometimes when your indoor cat watches "prey," like birds or a squirrel, through a window, or sometimes just sees them on television, he makes a chattering sound. The cat opens his mouth slightly, pulls his lips back, and then opens and closes his jaws very quickly. The noise that results is a cross between lip-smacking and teeth chattering. If he is really excited, he might add a vocal utterance that sounds almost like a cry.

    That noise is more instinctual than many of us realize. Feline behavioral specialists have noted the similarity of the noise to one made by cats delivering a special neck bite when killing a bird or small rodent. Cats can deliver this bite quickly and efficiently causing death before the prey has a chance to struggle. Young kittens in the wild have opportunities to practice and hone this special bite.

    In chattering and squeaking, house cats may be showing their excitement at seeing potential prey, or they may be acting out their frustration in seeing potential prey that they cannot reach. Many times, you may notice that your cat’s tail gets puffy or twitches in a special way that accompanies his special chattering noises.

    So when your kitty sits in the window and chatters at the birds, he may be feeling frustrated that he can’t be the hunting critter that he was meant to be. So he practices instead by acting out the fatal bite to his kill.

    She’s talking to you, that’s all. Most vocalizations by cats if for the benefit of their humans. They have mostly silent communication between each other. She’s talking to you, you’re talking back, so she’s responding to you — at least asknowledging that she heard you speak to her. Be pleased — it’s a sign of affection more than anything.

    All very true, but I don’t agree myself. I will go along with the more traditional view. But I certainly support your right to say it. Cool anyway.
