Owl Sister

Once before I showed you Bella's strange look that we call  'Owl Sister'. She has done this move with her ears since she was a kitten. We think it means something but have never figured out quite what that is.

'I'd rather see pictures of your cats than pictures of your kids.'

I think she wants something
Mary MacADNski: She does it when she wants to go in the house but other times as well. She's kind of a strange cat.

My experience of cats is that this is an expression of annoyance at something in her environment...unpleasant sound from a vacuum cleaner, or microwave cooker; smell that cannot be interpreted; small lizard moving about inside the boot-cleaning grate at the door...?

Nice cat pic, Mary.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Ray. Annoyance could be it because she does get annoyed easily. She is not laid back like Kenz.
Mine does this when she sees or hears something strange Mary!
Mary MacADNski: She quite often does this sitting in the window looking in.

I think she is trying to tune her radio by moving her antenna ..what an expressive little girl she is!
Mary MacADNski: She is tuning something in, Kathryn, and yes, she is very expressive. She is feisty and full of personality.
curiosa posa. Ciao Mary
Mary MacADNski: If she was your cat she would be Bella Mela.
grin This is a new one on me Mary. She does look a bit startled as if it is a sound she is reacting to
Mary MacADNski: She has done this since she was a baby and quite often when she wants to come inside.

Even before I saw the title and read your notes, I was thinking owl! I'm thinking that she is looking rather annoyed at something.. a sound perhaps?
Mary MacADNski: She does this all the time. I think she is annoyed but why?
It's interesting to note that you are interested in finding out what your cat 'means' by it's various expressions... that shows a lot of love and caring. Virtues that are hard to come by these days...
Her ears are so alert..she can hear something behind her Mary.
He is a bit angry no ? Nice shot Mary !
I see that "owl" look on occasion, although offhand I couldn't tell you which cat or cats that I have do it or why. It's one of the reasons why I love my cats so much! You are very perceptive, Mary.
Mary MacADNski: I have a photo of her sitting beside a plastic owl the same size with the owl ears back like this. I borrowed the owl and tried for months before I finally got the shot.
