Re: What does 'calling' actually mean?

You don't sound thick, it's a good question for someone who's never had an un neutered girl.
It literally means she's in season and is rolling around like a hussy and 'calling' [or screaming!] for some love!
They can make an unbelievably loud noise, not at all like their normal voices. My girl keeps it up for 7 or 8 days, every third weeks or so.

Re: What does 'calling' actually mean?

would you say calling only pertains to an un neutered cat? only asking as i have had cats that were neutered that made the same noise at times either 'calling' outside... or just 'calling' round the house.

also what is a 'running call' vs a 'call'?

Re: What does 'calling' actually mean?

Calling is when a cat is feeling horny and ready to be mated..she is shouting either very loudly or calmly to any boy cats that may be local or as in our case far out in outer space and beyond Entire boys also call and answer,think when a cat is neutered they are just vocal,certainly with our ladies their is no mistaking when they are screaming for some sexual healing and when they are just chattingNever heard the term "running call" but to hazard a guess i would say a call that seems to be constant,say if the girl isn't mated

usually for some bloke named Raoul As well as the shouting you get very unlady like behaviour, such as presenting ones bright pink ladies parts to man and beast alike writhing all over the floor as if in abject agony.

....... and if theres no Raoul around they resort to lesbian sex



basically they have no shame

Re: What does 'calling' actually mean?

hahahah brill photo!! naughty pussy porn! oh dear! i only asked as i use the term 'calling' loosely with my ocicat as she's always yawling and chatting away and i just think of her as calling out! but i guess i will have to rephrase it since she's neutered!

Re: What does 'calling' actually mean?

LOL at Raoul what does the calling sound like? I have been curious too. My girl was spayed as soon as she was old enough, it was part of the deal as she came from the Cats Protection. I've heard calling being mentioned, and just wondered!

Re: What does 'calling' actually mean?

My siamese and oriental sound like they are shouting "raaaaaoooouuuuulllllll" very very loudly. Favourite place to sit on the banisters on the landing as it then echos all around the house.

Re: What does 'calling' actually mean?

It can vary, starting with little coos and chirrups, building up to incredibly loud Rouwls [Raoul! So funny!] and even intermittent short sharp almost barks that sound a bit like 'Now! Now! Now!!!'
They lift theit tail and push it to one side for clear access, and paddle their back legs to get into position..... there is no way you could ever confuse this behaviour, it is embarrassingly blatant, and they don't care about visitors or stuffy relatives

Re: What does 'calling' actually mean?

LOL @ "Raul" Yes it does sound like that - in fact sometimes, when my girls start their yelling, it can vary a bit and sound a bit like "Alllaaaaaahh-al aqba!!!" ... very strange.
