Mitzi is a lovely affectionate Grey, she loves cuddles or just being on my lap if I am at the computer. However, as I have posted on the forum several times about Mitzi and the phone - she absolutely hates it. I had thought it was only if I used it while I was holding her but it seems that if I even use it in her presence I have to be punished.  Today I had ordered some stuff online but there was a problem and I had to use the phone. Mitzi was on her stand but afterwards she was furious. She was stomping up and down; an angry puffball of jealousy, lunging at any part of me she could reach. I must learn to keep the phone out of her vision! Jane |

Max will imitate the sound of the phone ringing then say, "Hello". However, if I try to use the phone in his presence, he will attack the receiver (which is up against my ear). It is best to use the phone in another room rather than pepper my conversation with, "no don't do that; stop it" etc.

That is so funny that she gets jealous of the phone. Manzi thinks the phone is his cue to be as loud as possible. Lately I have been having to go into another room to talk on it because of his screeches. Manzi does do quite of bit of talking too while I am on the phone and people (family members) alway think that my husband is home. By the way, Jane, I just realized that Manzi's name is pronounced like the first three letters of Monty and the last two of Mitzi. Just so you know, I didn't run out of name ideas and steal your two bird's names  . |

;D
Talking of names, Mitzi is funny because she decides under what circumstances to call him either Monty or Montague. We don't often call him Montague so this is entirely her decision.

Pete uses Andi and Andrea depending upon the situation also. the phone: They just make it as hard for me to hear as possible, which is always.

The phone behaviors described above are hilarious. Chiku simply uses the ringing sound of the phone to drive me nuts. She sounds exactly like it and waits until I go outside to make it ring. The first couple of times I came running in but then was on to her. I was outside a couple of days later and she started in. I was able to ignore it until she did the shortened ring where the voice mail usually cuts in. That's when I was sure it was the phone. Of course not, it was her. Just a game as far as she is concerned!

We had a faulty smoke alarm once and within minutes Monty was imitating it. Then I got confused when it was doing the low battery beep because I thought it was him and it really was the smoke alarm!
