2301.0. "hiccups" by BLKWDO::PARKS () Wed Mar 15 1989 11:21

	I hardly ever get Hiccups, but this morning I had them BAD!
	I was in the bathroom trying to put my makeup on without poking
	my eye out, when Tsunami jumped up on the counter(she watches
	me very closely every morning).  After a couple of minutes I
	noticed that Tsunami had hiccups too!  I've never noticed her
	hiccupping before.  What a coincidence that we had them at
	the same time!  I accused her of getting hiccups just because
	I had them, but she looked very surprised after each hiccup and
	assured me that she couldn't help it.  

	Aren't cats funny when they have hiccups?  This is one time
	that she couldn't say "I meant to do that" because she didn't
	seem to know what "that" was.

	Thunder had hiccups the other night. I never realized that cats got them. My other cats have never shown signs of them. Of course, Thunder is not like other cats. It was funny watching her. Sandi
2301.2		WITNES::HANNULA	Cat Tails & Bike Wheels Don't Mix	`Wed Mar 15 1989 12:04`	7
	I get hiccups alot, and I cannot hiccup quietly. Portia has always been my special cat and likes to protect me when I'm sick or upset. She is so funny to watch when I have the hiccups since she runs circles around me trying to figure out what is hurting me. She'll attack anything unusual in sight. Then when I let out one of my hiccups, she'll stop right in her tracks, turn around to stare at me, and then start beating things up twice as much.

	It's great when cats get the hiccups, my Tabby used to get them frequently. His whole body would jump.
