I can hear the ekekeks from here!
to me they are more like mekmekmek
Then a sudden crash and scurrying. Only to find everything on the counter knocked over and on the floor.
With only the moth left in the vicinity of the crime you should assume it acted alone in this horrendous act of vandalism.
Mine jumps at the keys in the door when he gets the zoomies. Apparently he reaches the higher lock, that's where I have a small mascot dangling and I found it on the floor a couple of times already.
Huh, I've never met a cat that ekekekees at bugs, they only do it when watching birds they clearly have no way of catching. Otherwise they just meow at the thing like it's your fault it's flying on the ceiling.
my cat doesn’t meow at things he intends to kill and he also doesn’t understand that he can’t fly.
it gets wild in the basement when a fly gets in, just a stupid cat blur that may or may not slam full speed into any object and roughly chest height.
there are grunts. so much grunting.
They ekekekek if they want to hunt or to grab your attention / attention of other cats for the hunt. I run around with a bug zapper paddle and hunt with my cat. I see a moth, I ekekek at him and he comes in running, grabs the thing and eats it. Sometimes he ekekeks at me and I grab the paddle and launch a serve at a fly. Gets him off my back for playtime, since playtime is basically simulating a hunt, and he goes to eat and sleep shortly after.
The only time my cat goes ekekek is when there's a fly in the apartment.
