Heard But Not Seen

Sable still spends most of her time under the bed. She comes out at night, and lies on a cat-tree in the cat-room. Sometimes she hurries out during the day, uses a litter-box in the cat-room or downstairs, then rushes back under the bed. Periodically though, she stays out and wanders about; now and then, I’ve startled her - and vice versa - when she’s been on top of the refrigerator, jumping down suddenly when I appear.


On the weekend, I was at the computer in the bedroom. Sabe slipped out of the room for some fresher air, and I heard her make what seems to be her characteristic gulping wail sound. I thought at first she was in the library, but she was, in fact, in the kitchen, and I missed the chance of recording her movements. Her sounds come at the beginning of this short video. Aside from an odd hiss if a cat comes too close to her, this is the only kind of noises she has so far made.

  1. Poor baby, I hope she becomes braver and explores more.

  2. It seems every cat has a different sound don't they. You can't simply say they meow and they purr. Sable is a different girl and she has a sound to prove it.

  3. I wonder what she's saying...if only we could communicate in the same language! At least she's coming out more now, hanging around in other places.

  4. Hopefully in time Sable will learn that the Cosy Cabin and its inhabitants are nothing to be afraid of and she'll stop hiding and enjoy living indoors.
