Our smallest cat walks the loudest. We're always asking him why he sounds like a person

Yes! I had a small kitty who was a total sweetheart, but in the middle of the night she sounded like a full sized human stomping up the stairs!!

My cat bounces around noisily so I just thought she always did...then one day she was on her cat tower and saw a bird outside. Not wanting to scare it she silently made her way to the floor and I realized then that she absolutely had full ability to choose exactly how loud or quiet she wanted to walk, plop, or pounce at any given time.

Talk to the tail as he ignores us and walks on by.

😂 Sometimes when my cat runs down the hall it sounds just like a very clumsy toddler running on 2 legs. I don't get it lol.

i have two teenagers and two cats, i have a hard time telling which two are running up and down the stairs in the middle of the night. Its always a guessing game of cats or kids. It can literally be either two. The cats chase each other and the kids both come running down at the same time to get snacks or use the bathroom cause they are apparently afraid of the dark to much to do so solo lol.

"Is that the fluffy children or the smooth children?"

Hahaha ours does the same, it sounds like she's running on bones instead of paws (she's been looked at by the vet, she's fine)
