Meowing is a vocalization commonly made by domestic cats, often used to communicate with humans. Each meow can vary in pitch, length, and intensity, conveying different emotions or needs. Cats may meow to express hunger, seek attention, or indicate discomfort. While adult cats typically meow more to humans than to other cats, kittens use meowing to communicate with their mothers. The frequency and style of meowing can differ among breeds, such as Siamese or Persian cats, each having unique vocal traits. Understanding these sounds can enhance the bond between cats and their owners.
