3. I think it's like grunting during sit-ups or other exercise. |
|
The muscles that have to flex force out air and cause a small vocalization.

5. My cats meow involuntarily when excited... like when they spot a bug. |

4. Has she had surgery of any kind lately? |
|
Does it sound like just a "Meow." or does it sound like "MEOW!!!" In other words, does it sound like pain or just a quirk or some sort?

17. I didn't notice it then. I would actually call it a cross between a meow and a purr |

7. Mine usually do the same thing, |
|
although it's more of a squeaky grunt than an actual meow. Sort of a "Hrrrm!" sound. I think it really is a grunt, rather like the noise I make when I hoist my porky ass out of a chair.

9. To make you ask why she meows every time she jumps. |
|
And it works!
(This was my dad's standard reply to my when I was in the "why" stage of childhood)

13. mine kinda meows/grunts every time she jumps down from somewhere too |
|
but then she's also 16 pounds, so that's a lot of weight shifting.

She also knows that behavior will keep you up at night wondering.

18. I think she's inadvertantly meowing and then jumping from surprise |
|
She startles herself. But of course, then she acts all natural about it, like "oh, I meant to do that" and makes you think that she jumps first and meows as a consequence.
They're tricky that way.
