. There is another special situation, when the female cat is in estrus, it will make regular and loud shouts while keeping her mouth closed to attract males (this sound will occasionally appear during fighting between males). In fact, as part of body...
In fact, as part of body language, cats' eyes and mouth can also convey information to a certain extent, but the diversity is much smaller than the above, so I will not introduce them one by one here.
Why doesn't the cat meow?
Now, let’s go back to the beginning of the article and talk about the “meow” sound we are most familiar with. People have found that adult cats only "meow" when they are with people. This sound may represent welcome and greetings, or complaining and longing for care.
And adult cats will hardly make such sounds between their peers. On the contrary, when kittens need to take care of their mothers, they will make a similar "fallactic" sound. Researchers speculate that early cats did not "meow" to scream, but after being with humans for a long time, in order to attract human attention, they remembered the calls used to attract mothers' attention when they were young, which formed a unique "meow" sound.
Therefore, when cats get along with their peers, they rarely "meow" and they are more likely to smell it with their noses, express it in body language, or communicate in non-meowed voices mentioned above.
Study shows that the "meow" sounds of different cats are also different. It seems that each cat has its own unique "meow" for humans. If you are walking outdoors one day and suddenly hear a "meow", it is very likely that a cat discovered you and was saying hello to you!
