The Language of Cat Meows

Cats actually have over sixteen different types of meows, and they developed most of them specifically

to communicate with humans. Wild cats rarely meow to each other as adults,

but house cats figured out that humans respond to vocal sounds, so they basically

learned to talk to us. Each meow has a different meaning too.

Short meows are greetings, long drawn-out meows are demands, and rapid-fire meows

usually mean they're excited or frustrated about something. The craziest part is that cats can

actually modify their meow pitch to match their owner's voice tone, essentially creating

a unique language with each human they live with.
