For nearly 19 years we have had a "Nin Alarm". At the time Nin decides we should be up (this varies depending on the season, his mood) he sits and sings and sings. "Mmmrrroow, Mmmmrrrrow, Mmmmrrrow." He can sing for hours. I believe on Sunday morning he sang on and off for over 2 hours. Then the next night at 1:11 am he sang for awhile.
He sings other times too, but the most annoying if you are trying to sleep. He also seems to have figured out that if he sits at the top of the stairs he gets the best acoustics in our home and it echoes. It is so loud, you can hear him outside a few feet from the house if the doors and windows are closed.
While it is a very annoying habit, and has been annoying for nearly 19 years, I am trying to appreciate it because I know soon, the "Mmmmrrrooow" will be gone from our house and the silence will be more deafening then any Nin singing ever was.
I tried to video this so you all could hear it, but every time I got my phone out, he stopped.
Perhaps he is just trying to talk like a Pirate!
Maybe he is saying "shiver me timbers, me bowl is not full" or "fill my bowl or I will make you walk the plank."
Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Singing sea shanties!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had cats, due to allergies and asthma but can appreciate the song that Nin has serenaded you with for so many years. It always makes me ponder that those habits that irritate us the most and the most missed.
ReplyDeleteWe wish we could hear Nin. Maybe some day he will cooperate.
