That\u2019s why some of us research and write books and post blogs featuring cats and most of us read those books and blog posts, as well as articles and news stories related to cats. We get their DNA tested, discuss intricate cat issues with our veterinarians, and even consult cat psychics and psychologists. One thing few people understand, however, is the cat\u2019s meow. What does meow, mew, mauwww, mew-mew, actually mean? Here\u2019s a site that discusses this issue.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Understand-the-Cat's-Meow\">https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Understand-the-Cat&#8217;s-Meow<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of course we generally understand when our cat is asking for food, wants someone to play <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-3997\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/catyawning-e1580934182595-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/catyawning-e1580934182595-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/catyawning-e1580934182595-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/catyawning-e1580934182595-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/catyawning-e1580934182595.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>with or pet her, wants in or out, etc. Olivia lets me know when she wants a window open and when she\u2019d like a bit of catnip. We\u2019ve had cats ask for treats\u2014usually at treat time. And there are times when a cat will come tell you when something is wrong\u2014there\u2019s a squirrel in the yard or another cat or dog, for example. We had a cat that checked his kibbles and water bowls each night as we prepared for bed. If they were full, he\u2019d go on to bed. If not, he\u2019d sit in front of them and wait for us to walk by so he could tell us there was a problem. He was a good communicator.<\/p>\n<p>Would you believe that there are now apps where you can record your cats meow and get an interpretation? And there\u2019s a reverse app that translates your words into cat language\u2014\u201cstop\u201d for example, which you would use when the cat is digging in a plant or clawing a chair or something.
