Meowing is particularly interesting because ãdül† domestic cats frequently direct it toward humans.
Cat-to-cat communication relies heavily on scent, body posture, facial signals, touch, and other vocalizations.
Individual cats can develop different meows that successfully get particular responses from their human caregivers.
Kittens naturally meow toward their mothers, but ãdül† pet cats retain and extensively employ vocal communication with us.
Your cat's meow is, in part, a communication system especially useful for living with humans.
