Strange question. Does anyone else here find themselves making little sounds during the day? I make these quiet sounds that are almost like a wounded animal when I do things. I know it is because of the stress and solitude of the house. I thought I was the only one hearing them, but yesterday my mother asked me why make sounds. I didn't tell her that it was probably stress, I told her it was just something I always did.
Then I thought -- maybe I am weird. Or maybe I do feel like a wounded animal going through each groundhog day.
I use the Miss Piggy karate chop noise for swatting garlic, though. If you do it hard enough the bulb doesn't fly across the kitchen.

Blannie, what you wrote made me think. I have rabbits. They grunt and make little oof, oof sounds. I didn't realize I was imitating them until you wrote that about cats.
A few minutes ago I went to the living room to record the Chase bill I had paid online for Mom. She asked me if I knew anyone who moved furniture. (woof) She wanted to have the single bed moved from the back room to her bedroom and move her big bed the other way. (grunt) We have been through the unhappy-with-bed thing now twice in three years. Then she added that I would have to get some new mattresses for the little bed. Of course, I could see two days of my time evaporating with the end result being she still wasn't happy. (sigh)
I told her to just be happy with what she had. Her bed was fine and we weren't going to go through this again.
I think maybe being so isolated makes you tend to verbalize more, if I had someone else to talk to I would probably just talk about what was bothering me out loud, to them.
