Some cats have been known to meow back when spoken to.
But this does not mean that the pet understands what exactly is being said to it.
Why does the cat meow back?
Cats are social animals, they enjoy spending time with people and interacting with them.
One of the ways a cat communicates with a person is meowing.
Scientists believe that cats “invented” meowing specifically to communicate with people.
When you talk to a cat and it meows back, it is simply letting you know that it knows you are talking to it.
