More on whistling


Thanks for your comments about how you come when called - or what interests you......Skeeter left a funny comment about how she comes to Silent Night being whistled....that reminds me that Vicki whistles Waltzing Matlida (an Aussie folk song) and I absolutely hate it!!! I wake up if asleep, I meeouw loudly and then I eventually leave the room. I will get Vicki to capture it one time on her camera video one time for you all.

For more info on the song Waltzing Matilda, click here:

What's your call sign?


Apparently I am an unusual cat in that I come to a whistle. Vicki had never owned a cat before and refused to stand in the backyard and call out my name or "puss, puss" (the normal call sign to come home). As Vicki was more used to owning dogs, she found it very natural to call me in using a whistle.

I am very good, I can hear the whistle from miles away. I usually let Vicki know I am on my way home once I reach the property perimeter with either a very melancholic "M..r...ee..oow..." or I stop along the way and scratch my bells until they tinkle. She usually stops whistling then and starts encouraging me to come home quicker by calling my name, "Come on, that's it...I haven't got all night....".

When I am in the house I still come to a whistle...or the cupboard opening...or the fridge opening...or cans being opened...or chopping in the kitchen. After all, everything in the house revolves around me.

What do you guys come to? Names? Whistles? Puss? Anything else?
