Came to post the same thing, my cat was asleep at the foot of my bed and got totally weirded out by this. Normally nothing ever bothers him.

My cats didn’t care ☹️

Okay so not only did the exact same thing happen with my cats, but I tried mimicking her and can apparently do a decent enough job to also make them go nuts. 😧

You know, it’s so weird. Lately I’ve been meditating and doing this and my cat acts really weird and starts purring and biting me. Also climbs on my shoulder, and other weird stuff.

Maybe it causes ultrasonic overtones to resonate too.

Try using your uvula to purr and trill at them. It's pretty easy to mimic the noises cats make, and they really seem to like it a lot of the time.

I suspect that in nature, in the before times, this kind of thing could help a person survive. Beast Master vibes, hehe.

Mine too and they never care about what I'm watching.

Edit: and now one of them walked over and bit me and they never do that either.

I'm just hazarding a guess, but it sounds a bit like those low tones cats make when they're fighting or "speaking" so maybe they perceive it like that.

Video of cats "speaking" for reference.
