Question
We recently acquired an 11-year old siamese cat. She has settled in rather nicely, except for a behavior we don't understand. She spends much time walking around the house making a sort of warbling sound. She will stop momentarily if petted or otherwise distracted, but resumes the behavior shortly. Any ideas. Thanks.

Answer
Hi John,

Siamese are great cats and they are "talkers".   I have often heard them do that when they see birds outside.  I think it's a contentment thing, and if it doesn't bother you , then I wouldn't worry about it.  They are very intelligent and will often "speak" to you especially when hungry.  They are my favorite kind of cat and I hope to get another one soon.

Good luck and God bless,
Becky
