why do cats make a strange noise when birds are around2007-11-25 12:31:44Answers:

This website gives the perfect answer: "When a cat kills prey, it bites down quickly several times. The 'chatter' is simulating the cat's behavior at the time of attack. Alternatively (according to a visitor): it's pure and simple frustration. When a cat is stalking or killing a bird, they're almost invariably completely silent. It's when they are shut off from the prey that they chatter."

they go a little nutty when they see the birdies so they sing a little song that sounds like chatter

---

to lure them closer, so they can catch them

---

It is known as chattering. It is a sign of feline retardation. Not much can be done other than putting the animal down.

---

why do they purr when they are happy. just because, or maybe they want the bird to hear the sound and become petrified with fear.

---

Same reason dogs make funny noises when other animals are around them.. instinct i would imagine

---

I've seen many cats do this.

I would think to try and draw it in, maybe an attempt to speak animal languages

there may be no correct answer, maybe a cat whisperer could help :-P

---

they want to eat them

---

Excitement. Arousal.

The sight of prey excites their hunting instinct.

---

The thrill of the hunt excites them and they are using cat language to express how irritating it is for them because they can look and not lunge!

You know the creator was trying to create the perfect predator and designed cats. He ordered his clarks to hive him wings as well so that he can hunt in the sky as well. But those "chicks" foresaw the danger and bribed the clerks with "hot" n steamy moments and got it for themselves. It was too late by the time lord came to know about it and he had no choice but to despatch the cats to earth with no wings. Ever since then the cats never liked the birds. Never heard this?
