Cats… cats can be so heckin' weird sometimes. Like- don't get us wrong, we love them. We love them not despite but because of how weird they are. It makes them unique and purrfect. No matter what it is. Some cats have weird obsessions with bread for some reason, other cats just don't like drinking water and you have to help them do it in creative ways, other cats try to steal food right off our plates. Every single one of them has something different. 

For this week's challenge, we wanted to show appreciation to cats - and we mean to the strangest furballs of the bunch. So, we decided to ask you guys to talk about what makes your cats… special. And specifically, we asked whether your cats - like some of ours - make weird non-meow noises sometimes. Watching you guys try to describe your cats' ridiculous noises was something truly hisstercial.

    Cat - Erin Brewer I have a cat that barks. This is Fiona. I call her Fefe. Before we had her, she lived with dogs. Every once in a while l'Il hear her go "rawr rawr rawr" and she'll bolt up the stairs. Like Reply Hide Send Message 7h

    This one maybe takes the cake, y'all. We have heard of cats making a variety of different noises throughout out time writing for ICanHasCheezburger, but we have yet to hear of a cat who… barks. What we would not give for you to send us a video of this happening. Please do- we will send you cat memes and cute cat pictures as payment.

    Oh, the classic unexplained and unexpected chirping noise. It seems to happen quite often with quite a few cats - including ours. And yes, somehow, it manages to catch us off guard every single times. It's just… not a noise that we expect to come out of them. It's so heckin' weird.

    Cat - Mary Gillis Knix has never ever meowed. He makes clicking noises with silent open mouth meows when he talks to you. It's so weird but it's so him. 6. Like Reply Hide Send Message 7h

    Cat - Maggie King We've definitely heard this booger say Mama (that's what everyone calls me, and apparently he's learning to mimic it). There's also the low "mrrrow?" When he wants out or in to whatever he's shut out of or into, the short chirp/squeak when he wants food and I'm not coming fast enough, the long low growl/purr when he's really happy, the loud long chirp when he's looking for my husband, or the loud short meow yowl when looking for the three year old. Very very talkative 2 Like Re

    Cat - O Top fan Darren Edson Mine does between a loud purr and a squeeky meow when he's excited to see me. Like, "Mrrreeow!" His fuzzy little chin quivers when he does it. Like Reply Hide Send Message 7h

    Rectangle - Petra Gubicza My cat communicates like a baby, when she wants food or attention, she says "neeeh". My Purrinces made an aweful noise when she was upset. Sounded like fry scream. She's no longer with us, i don't think i will ever forget that noise. Like Reply Hide Send Message 6h

    Organism - Katelyn Bennett Artemis (Left) likes to wander around the house making those little prrrrrrtt noises at everything and everyone. She taught her sister Aurora to do it too. Arty also likes to carry her toys around the house and howl proudly to let us know she murdered it to death. Good girls. Like Reply Hide Send Message 6h

    Cat - Mike Pelley My cat Lil' Bo here grew up as a MEAN lone feral kitten on our remote construction site (think he came on a rental equipment, totally alone) he started hanging at our office trailers and mingled with us, when he was by himself, he would literally make sounds like a honking goose, very distinguishable. We had tons of Canadian geese on our job. He's been home with me 3.5 years now, I've never heard the sound since he left the site. Like Reply Hide Send Message 7h

    Cat - Terri Troutman This is a photo of Toodles. She was our sweet little Bengal girl, who passed away in February. She made the most amazing sounds that are hard to describe. Especially when she carried around her favorite thing, a plastic straw. Or when her brother sat in front of the pantry, meowing for treats. Then she made a kind of distressed meow-scream. Oh how I miss her and her beautiful vocals. Like Reply Hide Send Message 4h

    Facial expression - Patrick Robinson We have one cat that says "Meck-meck". Rhymes with "neck". Another cat says "nyah-nyah" very loudly. Another cat makes little "peep" or "ooo" sounds. He also says "Prrowlf!" when he's loving all over your face. Like Reply Hide Send Message 5h

    Font - Holly Scholz My baby talked a lot... my bf at the time didn't believe me (and he said he wasn't a cat person, either lol). I introduced her, said, "Baby-Joe, Joe-Baby." She literally walked around Joe and tilted her head and said "Hi Joe!" And we both laughed pretty hard. He was very confused but acknowledged that she knew his name Like Reply Hide Send Message 7h

    Font - Rebecca Shappell Maya sounds like the submarine sonar ping from any '80s Steven Seagal movie. Spice does not have an inside voice - it sounds like the fridge fell on her when she says good morning. Sugar knows an entire dictionary of words that are often recognizable by people who are not me Like Reply Hide Send Message 5h
