Songs of the stomach

Since starting my diet and changing eating habits a bit my stomach frequently rattles, rumbles, grumbles, sloshes, growls, gargles, gurgles and just generally snipes at me in its muffled little protests. No harm done. No discomfort. No distress. Just comical noises.
Last week I was in the bathroom when I started hearing these muffled voices from my stomach and thought they sounded more urgent and angry than usual, but I wasn’t feeling anything so didn’t give much thought to the racket.
Eventually I realized it wasn’t my stomach at all. The cat was on the other side of the door trying to hork up a hairball. Ha, ha. The last belly laugh was mine!
