Cat Burps?
Somewhere along the line, I’d heard cats were incapable of burping. Tonight, while reading blogs (me, not Tasha), Tasha was sitting on my chest purring. I kept hearing this periodic sound. I finally figured out she had hiccups. Then, out of nowhere, I heard “brrrp” (it wasn’t me!). The cat burped. And didn’t even say, “Excuse me.” Shortly afterward, she jumped off me and wandered away.
A Clusty search turns up several references to feline burping–most in blogs. Does anyone have burping cats?
Ohmigosh, in my pre-caffeinated-way-too-early state that’s just hysterical! I’m crying from trying not to laugh too loud and wake the rest of the house. I have this image, like a video clip, of Tasha snuggling on your chest, and then a giant belch following by a cartoon bubble over her head that says, “Hmm, tastes like chicken!”
I haven’t noticed my furry kids burping yet, but my teens do and scare the cats sometimes. Don’t guess that counts.
I’ll keep an ear out; if anyone is burping around here, it will be Ryan b/c their Ladyships wouldn’t dare!
You captured the image wonderfully–even down to the chicken, since she eats Purina One (chicken flavor).
No, but mine snores. 🙂
Not funny EJ! My cat Katty burps, purrs and breathes like a pro. The burping has to be an indication of indigestion, but why she has it at all is something I’d like to figure out. She also seems to have chronic loose stools.
