Although cats do not have a developed language system like humans, all their meows have their own meanings, and their meanings are different in different situations. Meowing is an important tool for cats to communicate with their own species, or to express their emotions to other species. As a cat owner, it is necessary to understand the meaning of cat meowing.

1. The cat meowed suddenly, then stopped meowing

It’s cat courtesy. This is to say hello, such as seeing you come back and saying, "Hello, master." After that, he will play with himself. My cat often does this.

2. Gurgling

It means to like. When I was a child, I felt that there was a monk inside a cat’s belly. Because when I was close to the big yellow cat at home, it always purred. Later I realized that cats don’t purr with everyone, they only purr like whoever they like. Another situation is that it feels very comfortable when you touch it. Like scratching your chin.

3. A low and gentle cry means asking for something

Especially when it stares at you, it will most likely ask for a hug or to eat something from your hand. My cat likes to meow and rub against your legs, sometimes hugging your thighs. Cats like people to pet them, especially kittens.

4. The sound of tiger (pronunciation) means threat

This is a sign of attack. At this time, if you touch him with your hand, you can still feel the hair on his back standing up. My cat once did this to a Samoyed that came to play. Unfortunately, it was too small and the Samoyed didn't even look at it. I just ignored it~

5. A newly adopted cat meows endlessly to express uneasiness

This is a kind of fear. A lost kitten also meows like this, urgently and quickly. Don't disturb it at this time, let it get familiar with the environment first. This situation will improve quickly. Generally, the kitten will integrate into it in 2-3 days. The ability in new environments is very fast, unless you are sick.

6. Called Spring

It sounds like a child crying, and it meows all night long. The time is spring and summer, that is the cat's call of spring. Most people will be annoyed by the cat meowing (in heat), but there is nothing you can do about it, it is a natural phenomenon. It is still recommended to sterilize as soon as possible~

Although cat meows have many meanings, their expressions are limited. Therefore, even if it is the same meow, the mood that cats want to express is different depending on the situation they are in at the time.

For example, there is also a "gurgling" sound in the throat, or a "meow--""-" may be because the cat feels very relaxed, or it may be because it wants to be coquettish with its owner or to attract your attention.

It is important for cat owners to consider their cats' meows in conjunction with the situation they are in, as well as other signals such as facial expressions to understand their cats' moods.
