Dear Peeps Of TNS Community Of Luff and Awe Making Of Me,

Hi, I'm Neil.......



Here is a picture of a doggy and a catty !!

 [ Invalid Attachment ]

I have labeled them also for the feline/canine confused !!


Do all Doggys Bark ?...Do all Cattys Meow ?

Do some just howl ?...Are there some cattys that don't meow at all ? (and I don't mean dead ones !!)




Do ewe know ?

[Karen W.]

No Basenji's do not bark! That is a dog!  They make a small whimpering sound but no barking!

This is a Basenji:

I believe some breeds of cat are mute.

[Carol-A]

I suspect that there are inddividual dogs that don't bark.... and cats that don't mieow, but mostly (except the Basenji) do. We had a Gordon Setter for many years and she never once barked. The most she ever did was a sort of strangled yelp and that was very very rare, but others of that breed bark quite normally.

[DoctorBeaver]

Indeed, the Basenji is the only breed of barkless dog.

What about Wolves and Coyotes ?...they are dog related !...do they bark ?

Yes, they do. Even the hyena sort-of barks (although it's more like a falsetto asthmatic cough)

[JimBob]

Got'cha

Hyena's are neither dogs or cats - they are not only in a separate family but a separate sub-order  of animals - Suborder: Feliformia, Family: Hyaenidae

Dogs are in the Family Canidae and cats in the Family Felida.

"Fred, have you seen the Beaver?"
"No, honey, he said something about a fan, then ran to the garage."

[DoctorBeaver]

Can you point to where I said the hyena is a dog?

[Make it Lady]

I'm going to bang your heads together, really boys.

Some cats trill, which is a higher type of cat vocabulary. My cat imitates the intonation of what we say and when she comes in says Hello. She can also say milk. She has definite non-meow sounds that she repeats when she wants to do something. She asks to come onto the chair with a two tonal trill.
She hates me when I sing operatically because to her I am caterwauling to a mate. People have written books on what is quite a complex language considering the few sounds they can make.

[Bored chemist]

Dead cats and dogs are generally quiet.

[DoctorBeaver]

My cat imitates the intonation of what we say and when she comes in says Hello. She can also say milk.

I suppose she can recite the soliloquy from Hamlet too  []

[Make it Lady]

No but she sometimes sits on the bird table and quacks like a Duck. Some people have mistaken this for Shakespear.

[DoctorBeaver]

Some people have mistaken Shakespear for Shakespeare, the famous poet and playwright.

And surely, bird tables should be constructed in such a manner as to offer our little feathered friends the opportunity to dine without risk of being assailed by goddam cats!

[Make it Lady]

Is Goddam a place or do you mean God damn cats. I don't have any cats from Goddam here. I only did CSE English Lit. so we didn't do old Shakey.

[DoctorBeaver]

Goddam is a valid slang contraction of God damned, not God damn.

I only did CSE English Lit. so we didn't do old Shakey.

Just as well. He'd have been a bit smelly by then!

[JnA]

lions don't meow.


do you think so animals just don't make their associated noise because they can't be bothered or they are shy?
Sometime I don't want to talk either... although these days all I seem to say is "J no!"

[Make it Lady]

Ah, some decorum and from an Australian too. Doctor Beaver you just don't know how to treat a lady. By the way there is a cat that says Hello on utube. If I can be bothered I will look it up for you, but only if you're nice.

"Nice" and "Doctor Beaver" should never be juxtaposed. The same is true of "decorum" and "Australian"  [!]
