How to Understand What a Cat Wants by Its Meowing: Advice for Pet Owners

Unfortunately for many people, cats cannot talk.
However, this does not mean that a person cannot understand his pet.
Fluffy creatures do make sounds that can be called communication signals.
We are talking about meowing, purring and hissing. With the second and third sounds, everything is clear: cats purr when relaxed (although there are exceptions), and hiss when angry.
And how to "decode" meowing? After all, such a sound can appear with completely different emotions.
Quiet and "modest" meowing
According to one version, if a pet meows quietly and seems to be trying to evoke pity or show its dependent position, then it wants to eat.
A "modest" meow is a clear signal that a new portion of food needs to be put into the bowl.
Loud and "angry" meowing
But if the furry one’s “tone” has become more confident and demanding, then he most likely needs physical activity.
If the cat is often outdoors, then loud meowing may be a demand from the animal to be let outside.
Short meow
If the “meow” sound was heard for a very short time, then the pet is unlikely to have any desires or demands.
Perhaps the kitten simply responded to its name or gave the signal: “I hear you.”
