"That's absolutely true. Great horned owls don't have the repertoire of a song bird, but they do have some range. The call of the great horned owl is described as hoo-h'HOO-hoo-hoo, and the female will often add in a one syllable call that is more guttural. Young owls make a high-pitched demanding squawk when telling their parents they're hungry. When angry or threatened, the owls make a rapid clicking sound with their beaks."
"We place a pill in the syringe and open our cat's mouth and with the syringe shoot the pill to the back of the mouth. If you get the pill past the hump of the tongue, the cat has to swallow the pill. The plus to this method is you can't accidentally put your fingers between the cat's teeth. I'm all for avoiding a cat's teeth. Thanks for the tip."
Great horned owls inhabit urban and suburban areas and can produce a range of calls beyond the typical hooting. Females may add a guttural one-syllable call, young owls emit a high-pitched demanding squawk when hungry, and threatened owls produce rapid clicking with their beaks. Many forms of wildlife live largely unnoticed in suburban settings, so actions that could harm them should be avoided. For cats, a pill syringe can deliver medication to the back of the mouth so the cat must swallow and to avoid fingers near teeth. Using wet food as a distraction enables quick claw trimming by separating toes and snipping sharp tips.
