Having a kitten in the house\u2014well, now I guess Olivia\u2019s considered an adolescent\u2014I\u2019ve become interested in the sounds they make. Olivia is six months old and she still uses her squeaky kitten sounds sometimes with me, but I also notice a more mature cat mew and meow and prrrt more often. She does make some cute sounds.<\/p>\n
Have you noticed that no two cats necessarily sound ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/lilyyawncutesing-e1578656755900-225x300.jpg\")
alike? If you have more than one cat, you can usually tell which one\u2019s coming down the hallway yowling. In some cases, only one of your cats typically does it, so you know which one it is. But you\u2019ll also notice that Buster has a different meow sound than Fluffy, or not. If they\u2019re the same breed, they probably have similar sounds. We had a Himalayan from a kitten mill in Missouri and she had the most southern-sounding drawl of a meow\u2014low and lingering.<\/p>\n

My daughters, when they were little girls, were fascinated by the fact that I understood what the cats wanted when they\u2019d meow or otherwise address me. Yeah, because cats use body language along with any vocalizing they might do. Cats speak with their tone, body language, eyes, posture, and facial expressions. All we have to do is \u201clisten.\u201d<\/p>\n
But what about the purr? What does it mean? You\u2019ve probably heard\/felt your cat purr when she\u2019s in a situation where she\u2019s not happy. On the veterinarian\u2019s table, for example. Cats purr when they are contented, but they also purr when they\u2019re under stress or frightened. It\u2019s their way of helping to calm and comfort themselves.<\/p>\n
