Yeeeah. His seagull friend is outside and I keep not opening the window since it's COLD so he contents to sitting on the table and making little chirping noises, as opposed to his usual Glued To Screeeen!
Marion is smart; there are OUTSIDE SMELLS. I love it when their little noses go all "ooh?"
I adore Elliot so much - he's such an awesome and yet very strange cat. I don't think I've heard the chirps, just the yeowls of annoyance at not being petted RIGHT THIS MINUTE.
Oh man, so do I. They have an amazing array of expressions and things they do with their nose / mouth. I have to say, though, I find it hysterical when they smell something they don't appreciate and sit around with their mouths open ...
Oh, that grimace, called a flehmen, is pheromone scenting. They're using the vomeronasal organ on the roof of the mouth to better identify the compound.
