Guard kitty

My two kitties like to sometimes lounge on the back of the love seat. Not typically this close. They have a good view of the french doors.

The more feisty one will start growling when she sees movement or hears noise out there, haha! It's so cute to me. Grrrawr. 😼🥹

Last thing was a deer strolling by. As I always check.
Do your cats ever do this?

I've never seen any of my past cats growl like a guard cat that I can recall ... I've only seen some of them do things like this clicking / chattering when they see a bird outside the window, like this (not my video) ...

... or to swat at frogs on the window at dusk (don't remember if that cat vocalized or not while doing that, or press their head against the window wanting to snatch an anole just on he other side of the glass. The last one was pretty mellow and not really all that phased by watching squirrels, raccoons, or deer outside a window.

If they were territorial at all, it was only with each other.

@ThirstenHowl Yes I've seen nearly all of mine do that when seeing a bird.
