| Earlier tonight, my cat was lounging in my dark bedroom, I went to the bathroom which is right next to it and went sat on the bed and starting petting her in the dark. While I petted her, she turned her head and litterally (sp?) made this chirping sound, not once but twice. She seemed rather pleased when she made that noise both times. I've never heard a cat make this type of sound before. Am I correct in assuming that she was happy at the time? She seemd rather happy when those sounds came out. They were really low and high pitched, sort of like a cat trying to imitate a bird chirping. Wasn't loud or anything. I'm just wondering if anyone else has/had experience this. Personally, the impression she gave me was that she was just happy. Any thoughts?

My Coco did that but that when she would she saw birds and squirrels outside, but both of my girls do it when they see someone that feeds them.

| That trilly chirping sound is just a way of saying "I love you" Not all cats do it, my cats don't but my aun't cat, that's the only sound she makes! If they make weird clickey chirps when they see something, like a bird, out the window, they are saying that they are frustrated though. It is kind of similar.

| She will only chirp when she's laying at the foot of my bed at night. She does that waiting for me to come to bed and I will go in there periodically just to pet her and talk to her. The room is totally dark, no lights on, tv or anything else. However, when I go up there and show her some attention, that is when she chirps in a low voice. She totally threw me offbase the last time. Never heard that kind of sound from a cat. I was just up in the dark bedroom just now and she did it again. I'm beginning to think it's a good thing, being as she likes being with me and we have a good relationship.

| Sorry for this extra post, forgot to add, I'm not sure what the clicky sounds like. My diva only sounds like a chirpy bird at night when it's just the two of us. If she has made the clicky sound, either I didn't notice it or I didn't hear it.

| My Ollie chirps at me all the time, usually when he's lovable and wants me to pet him. Mommy kitties will chirp at their babies too. I believe it's a sound of contentment and a way that they express their love. It's such a sweet sound, isn't it?

I just totally love Gracie's chirpy sounds. It's only during moments when the room is dark and there are no outside interferences. It's just the two of us bonding. That diva cat of mine totally rocks my world.

| I've noticed two types of sounds that cats make, that could be what you describe. The first happens when the cat sees a bird. The cat will hunch down, ready to pounce, and sat "eh-eh-eh". I believe the cat is trying to imitate the bird, and lure it into range. The other is more of a trilling sound, sort of a 'trrrrp!' I have seen mature cats do this to reassure, or call to, kittens. For example, one feral cat did that to show another's kitten where to find food. What do you say when you enter a room and see the cat? I think the cat is just returning your greeting!
