Why does my cat make that weird noise?

Answer by  mammakat (11147)

Your cat could be enticing you to play- they have hunting/catching instincts that require this. However, that spitting noise usually indicates Kitty is ticked off and feeling threatened. You should stop whatever you are doing to cause that, and either give puss space, or find out what is angering him.

Most likely your cat is just trying to spit up a hairball or something else that got caught in his curious mouth. However, if it's more of a gutteral, from the throat, type sound, it could be indicative of a cold.

A spitting noise could mean one of two things. It could be because your cat is feeling aggressive, defensive or angry perhaps towards another animal, a stranger or new food or furniture in your home. Or it could be a spitting sneeze that might be indicative of an allergy or a bit of a cold.
