    I have so many questions, like how doe he know it’ll be okay to burst through the tile like that, that if he jump high enough there’d be a place to grab onto?

    And does anyone know what that particular meow means – my cat make that sound every night when lights are turn off for bedtime…

      Cat burglar!

      And oh, that cry! Our cat does it all the time! Just as we’re falling asleep, if we’ve left her outside a few minutes too long. Heavens, what a noise (to quote Henry Higgins)

      With my cats that meow means “gimme it now!” For T-Two it’s cat treats and for Bindi it’s open the faucet for a drink. So I think this cat was saying “I want to go up there”

      That’s the super-powers activated noise.

      My cats often make that noise right before they get the zoomies.

        Yes, 17-year-ol’ flappy-lips does this when he has a particularly good tasting breakfast followed by a sound poop– its all super power activate noise then neererrrerrrrrr to the curtains and then back to his chair. He can take on the whole living room during that moment.

          LOL, that is awesome – I can totally picture it!

      • Wuyizidi July 4, 2017 / 8:41 pm

        Oh yes, my cat does that too. I’m like “hmm, how is this going to work out – a pet whose instinct is to hunt just when I want to go be sleep and when I’m not quite ready to get up?!”

        These days I try to tire her out by having her chase the laser for a few minutes after I turn off the lights. She still make that sound while staring at the walls and closets though, for reasons that remains unknown.

          Cats can see Martians. You are describing Martian-sighting behavior.

            Roflol.

    I bet that cat has a whole other couch up there and everything!

    I vant to be alone!

    That’s what I call a rowrr rowrr cry. Meanings vary.

    Sounds like Stripes when he’s shut out of the bedroom.

    Of course, when I leave the door open for him, he usually doesn’t come in at all.

    • Faye July 4, 2017 / 4:53 pm

      Ha!

    • 6rabbits July 5, 2017 / 10:56 am

      Isn’t that sort of the defining characteristic for a cat??

      • allein ? July 5, 2017 / 11:03 am

        True.

    His tail was fluffed.I hope nothing mean was done.

    Looks like he may have done that before and knew exactly what to do to get up there. Or how would the owner know to video tape the action. But I’m wondering how he gets back down? Too bad they didn’t do a video showing that also. Or does it yowl until the pet parent hears it and pushes a tile up so it can escape from the attic? Too many questions and not enough answers. Viewing it on YouTube didn’t provide the answers either.

    • Faye July 4, 2017 / 10:16 pm

      They come out in an entirely different location. We had one where I live now that I am told would get in a basement duct and come out on the third floor.

    What I want to know is, how did the cat discover this the first time? I can comprehend its going on charmingly, when it had once made a beginning; but what could set it off in the first place? (Paraphrasing a favorite fictional character here.)

    I mean, did the cat just launch itself at the ceiling one day on a whim?

    • allein ? July 4, 2017 / 9:38 pm

      It would not surprise me.

    More than likely, the ceiling doesn’t lead to the attic. Usually acoustic ceilings cover an old ceiling, just dropped down a foot or so. I wouldn’t recommend anyone heavier than a cat climb up there though, the grid won’t hold that much weight, and most tiles will break in half, which causes them to fall out of the grid. Also, the nastiest place in most homes and businesses are the back side of the tiles, full of dust, dirt, and sometimes, raccoon urine and feces. My husband is a ceiling mechanic, and I have helped him on some jobs. We have one acoustical ceiling in my house, in the bathroom.
