1. I had a cat
that would do that kind of reaction when I scratched his back. Sometimes he would lick the floor helplessly, and occasionally would growl while doing so. The sound effect was amazingly odd: grrralam alam alam alam alam mullum mullum mullum mullum...

3. Cats love getting their backs scratched!
It's one of the places they can't quite reach.

4. My dad had a cat who would call out the name of every family
member if he was left alone in the house. We could hear him and see him doing it through the windows-it was creepy as hell!

7. They do say that meowing is a cat trying to mimic the human voice
Apparently, they do not do this in the wild. There was a show about it on Discovery last year. It is believed that it is done solely to communicate with humans. Not to say that felines don't communitcate among themselves in many other ways, just not meowing to each other.

8. I have noticed that my cats never meow at each other.
They trill and hum and chirp to each other, but they only meow at me.

9. All I know is that is one ticked off cat at the end.
Man, it is ready to attack something or one.

13. My cat just ran out of the house.
Now he's looking at me through the window with his ears sticking straight up! Heed the warning in the original post!

15. One of mine ran out of the room, another (Puck), growled at the
computer with her tail puffed out. The third-the old boy-couldn't care less!
