Date of recording: 3/6/09
Time of recording: 2:30
I started again on March 6th, at the same spot I ended, around 2:30 PM, and continued until 5:30. This time, the weather was considerably warmer.
While in the clearing, I was surprised to hear a cat meowing, almost yowling, and it sounded close. I immediately started recording and got another couple of meows, this time quite distant. I like cats, so I admit I got a little worried when I heard the cat. It sounded like it was in trouble. I never did see it, though I did hear a dog. Maybe that's the reason it was yowling before?
My family has always owned cats since before I was born, so I'm very familiar with the variety of sounds they can make. The first cat we had was a tortoiseshell named Sunset. I don't remember if she ever meowed but she did give me a lot of scratches. After that, we got two tabbys. The older one, Tigger, would move her mouth, but she never made a sound. The other one, Lucy, on the other hand, was a world-class meower.
Now, we have one black-and-white cat, Stitch. He knows I can't always hear him, so he will follow me around the house and sit on whatever I'm reading until I feed him. We also have a little black cat with a white-tipped tail, named Toots. She is quite bad-tempered, but contrary to the picture below, her meow is worse than her bite. It's actually more like a puppy's whining: high pitched and extremely annoying.
I kill you!
