Videos of Cats Meowing

Cats are very smart animals and they meow to let their humans know what they want and how they feel.

A very interesting fact is that cats rarely meow to each other. It seems that they use it almost exclusively to communicate with their human companions.

However, cats do make other noises (like chirping, hissing, and chattering), and they direct them to other cats and animals. This article explores the causes of why cats-meow.

Here are some videos brought to you in affiliation with YouTube.

Low and deep rumble… Translation: If you're not going to do what I tell you to do, leave me alone.

Kitty seems to say: Could you please go away… I’m trying to nap here...

My cat Max still does that to me. He doesn't like it when we talk or make other noises when he's sleeping. I don't blame him. I don't like it either.

This beautiful Egyptian Mau is very "talkative". In fact, Egyptian Maus are one of the most vocal cat breeds.
