So we got home from the store and had the door in to the room(which Maddie is in) open. She started making a weird kinda gasping sound which kinda sounded like a monkey. But it doesn't really sound like any of the ones in th esound clips. When ever we went in there she stopped. Then we left and she did it again. I sat with her, let her take a dust bath (because she won't go in the bath when she's scared), and gave her a rose bud to see if she's eat (also because she won't when she is scared). She was acting completly fine and was walking around and stuff. I was wondering if mabey something was wrong that I'm not seeing or if she's just being a spoiled brat wanting attention? I figured she just wants to be let out, but the noise worries me. Although I'm still figuring out chins so everything new worries me.

Thanks for any help. Also she has done this before and wouldn't stop for an hour until I made other chin noises with the computer.
 
It could just be a warning/distress call. That's almost what it sounds like. Some chins do it just for attention, some do it because they heard/smelled something we can't. Perfectly normal.
 
Thanks. She really does seem fine when we go in there. My boyfriend played with her for a bit and she hasn't made it since. I think she's just being a brat. Figures. But I just wanted to make sure. She's my baby.
