Mine do a little "brrrup?"
Is that universal?
69Yes, that is the cat activation sound. There is a subreddit dedicated to that sound (r/activationsound)… I wonder if that has been made for lemmy
48Yes, that's the noise my cat makes if I wake her up, it's adorable.
20It's called a trill!
18Some trills are different than others

While I've heard variations, like "breet" and "gggweh", they are basically the same

Honestly cats are expensive lol not sure if this meme holds
20Owning a pet responsibly is like owning a car: there is the expense of regular maintenance, and then every so often you have to drop a wad of money for a major repair.
Don't get me wrong, my animals are worth it, but I think some first-time pet owners don't realize this.
14Not really. I adopted a stray kitten which cost 0$, a couple of vet visits set me back maybe 200$ for most of his life. Cat food isn't expensive, car toys, and the environment was easy to supply and make it interesting. Later in life he got a tumor, and regular vet visits did cost a couple of thousand bucks and he eventually had to be put to sleep. But that was the most amazing cat, who gave happiness and love to 4 people, and a kitty friend.
3For me the main expense is opportunity. If I want to go away for few days I need to plan a sitter which is also expensive.

I swear felines do more for us than we do for them. 😺
18Peri's activation noise is a noise of happy suprise, because she apparently is so enamored with me that she is always overjoyed to see me no matter what. Rufus's activation noise is him groaning because I woke him up.
17Rufus and I share the same activation noise.

Haha, where I am $75/hour is cheap. I'm paying double that right now.
16Look into the open path collective although totally understand if you don’t want to leave someone you’re established with. $40-$70.
