Anyone else's cat ever sniff? My cat used to sniff, and when she did it meant she was ticked off.

I mean, sniff as people used to do in novels.

1. My 17-year old man cat does when he is miffed.

He reminds me of a pouting teenager when he does it.

3. Mine just hisses. At everything.

Most cats hiss only when they are really frightened or angry, but my part-Siamese weirdo Pixie hisses whenever she is even mildly annoyed. Like if I get in her way as she's leaving a room, *hiss* or if I pick her up to move her somewhere, *hiss* Every little irritation or not getting her way is a cause for hissing. I've never known another cat with that much cattitude.

6. I had a cat, a male, who did that.

My sister described it as a "snort of superiority" and that was exactly what it was.

8. No sniffing, but once had a cat

who would stare at us and breathe quite heavily when she thought it was time to be fed (or if there was a "hole" in her food dish).

On more than one occasion we had to turn up the volume on the television in order to drown out the breathing.

9. I had a cat who, when pissed, would back up to a nearby wall

and start thumping his tail against it. It was hysterical.
