It’s a kitten that gobbles like a turkey [video]

An animal welfare centre in Florida has rescued a kitten that makes an adorable clucking noise when it eats.

Because the three-month-old kitten sounds so much like a barnyard fowl, Orange County Animal Services have appropriately named her Turkey.

A video uploaded to YouTube shows the black cat gobbling up a tin of food.

The kitten is now up for adoption and the animal centre hope her unusual meow, or gobble, can help her stand out from the crowd.

Moggies that *talk* are so endearing! Hope she finds a forever home with lots of *turkey entrees*.

we had a kitten like that; "third" was it's name, should have called it "bird".
One afternoon; it was sunning itself on elevated porch, a bird landed above it,
sensing prey..it leapt (spread-eagle like) and missin' the railing, it flew >20' out to
the ground..we, the family rolled laughing (couldn't move) a good 20 minutes..
the kitty (nonplussed) survived "it's solo flight" got up, as if nothing happened.

My kitty used to do that. Sounded like a turkey that smoked too many cigarettes.

One of Bryan’s parents’ cats did that same thing. That was a very long time ago, though.

Thanks for the post/ping, my friend.

Kitteh is saying “yum, yum, yum”.

One day during our young and poor days, our cat was being quite a pest. Having had enough, we put him out on our 3rd story “rug porch”. He wanted to be with us, and finally decided to jump from the railing of the porch to the window next to the porch where we were sitting. What followed was an actual cartoon, that we both saw in slow motion.

The cat jumped, and grabbed the sash of the window to hang on to. Because this was a funky old house, the sash immediately dropped off the window. The cat, frozen in time and space, opened his mouth and eyes wide in horror, then, he slooooowly stretched out, his body getting longer and thinner, until he snapped down, gone.

Mr G and I both fell on the floor, literally, roaring with laughter. We just knew the cat was dead, because it was 3 stories up and there were garbage cans below, but it was the funniest thing we had ever seen.

So, Mr G made the climb down the three stories to retrieve the body, and found our guy, wandering around, looking up, wondering how to get back up there. He was fine.

You just reminded me of something. When my husband was at Texas A&M we lived in an upstairs apartment. Our cat jumped for the window sill. The window was open, no screen, the cat went down. I raced down the stairs, not knowing what I would find.

The cat landed on all fours, like cats do but he was completely shocked. Eyes wide open, stiff as a board and after I carried him up stairs, he hid under the bed until the next day.
