I live within a mile of two major hospitals, a couple of miles from both the police headquarters and a fire station. In addition, several train crossings requiring horn warnings throughout the night. It is amazing to watch my two cats sort through all that and recognize it as just background noise, but the slightest strange sound outside and they are at full alert. No howling, but full attention, heads erect. And if they think it is the least bit threatening they will rally round me to make sure I'm paying attention and they are secure.

Does the bird imitate them all, Patti?

@ArtieKat no, never heard my parakeets imitate the cats. But have heard several times different years mockingbirds that sounded like they were meowing kittens. The neighbor next door has junk piled up on his patio and around the back yard and the feral cats have kittens over there. When the mockingbirds come back in the springtime they hear the kittens.
