Here\u2019s what you need to know about cat meows in a variety of situations.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Do_Kittens_Meow\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_0\">Why Do Kittens Meow?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.catster.com\/cat-behavior\/kittens-meowing-how-and-why-baby-cats-meow\">Kittens tend to meow a<em> lot<\/em><\/a><em>\u2014<\/em>and pretty much all of the vocalizations they make are intended to communicate with or solicit attention from their mothers. Kittens are actually able to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7000907\/\">vocalize almost as soon as they\u2019re born<\/a>, so of course they start making use of their noise-making abilities right away. After all, their survival depends on it until they\u2019re big enough to look after themselves.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main types of kitten vocalization is the isolation call\u2014a meow or mew sent out by the kitten when its mother is absent in order to encourage her to return to the nest. According to a study published in 2012 in the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3551667\/\">journal\u00a0<em>Frontiers of Zoology,<\/em><\/a>\u00a0these isolation calls aren\u2019t always the same; kittens have specific isolation calls in their repertoire to reflect different kinds of isolation situations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51R5Z1M1v7L._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Meanwhile, a 2017 study published in the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0003347217302002\">journal <em>Animal Behavior<\/em><\/a> found that kittens\u2019 isolation calls change pretty rapidly over the first two months of their lives, becoming both less frequent and less intense after the first month or so. (Mothers also respond differently to the calls as the kittens get older, with their \u201cwillingness to return to the nest or reunite with their kittens [decreasing] notably\u201d the closer to weaning age the kittens get.)<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pets.webmd.com\/cats\/guide\/cats-excessive-meowing#1\">Kittens will also meow at their mothers<\/a> for a number of other reasons, including when they\u2019re hungry, frightened, or cold. The idea is for the meow to prompt care from their mother to help alleviate their distress or satisfy their demand. If kittens have litter mates, they might also communicate with their siblings through meows\u2014mainly to set boundaries.<\/p>\n<p>As certified cat behavior consultant <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.catster.com\/cat-behavior\/kittens-meowing-how-and-why-baby-cats-meow\">Marilyn Krieger told Catster<\/a> in 2017,\u00a0\u201cIf the wrestling and playing becomes too intense or one is hurt, the little one communicates his or her angst through loud meows. This is usually enough for the kittens to back off and stop playing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hillspet.com\/cat-care\/new-pet-parent\/kitten-growth-timeline-by-week\">Kittenhood lasts for about the first year<\/a> of a cat\u2019s life. As is the case with early development in a wide number of creatures, the transition between kittenhood and adulthood happens in stages: By around six or seven months, kittens have usually lost their baby teeth and acquired their adult teeth; at about a year, they\u2019re ready to start eating food geared towards adult nutrition, rather than kitten nutrition; but kitten-type behaviors can often stick around until the cat is around a year and a half old.<\/p>\n<p>Meowing, though? That goes the way of all things fairly quickly, as kittens gain more independence and become able to take charge of their own survival. But although cats may meow <em>less<\/em> as adults, they don\u2019t stop entirely\u2014or at least, they don\u2019t if the cat lives with humans.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Do_Cats_Meow_As_Adults\"><\/span>Why Do Cats Meow As Adults?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><span style=\"display: block; position: relative; z-index: 100; width: 44px; height: 44px; background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.65); float: right; margin-bottom: -44px;\"><br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/link\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifesavvy.com%2F160109%2Fwhy-do-cats-meow%2F&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifesavvy.com%2Fp%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F02%2Ff8c1e894.jpg&amp;description=Why+Do+Cats+Meow%3F\" aria-label=\"Pin this on Pinterest\"><br \/>\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"44\" height=\"44\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" role=\"img\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"><g fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"><path d=\"M15.164 18.532c-.011.039-.022.072-.03.106-.503 1.97-.56 2.408-1.076 3.322-.246.436-.524.847-.832 1.242-.034.044-.067.102-.136.088-.076-.016-.082-.084-.09-.145-.083-.599-.128-1.2-.108-1.803.026-.788.123-1.058 1.139-5.327a.295.295 0 0 0-.024-.178c-.244-.656-.291-1.32-.079-1.995.459-1.456 2.11-1.567 2.398-.366.178.743-.292 1.716-.653 3.152-.299 1.186 1.097 2.03 2.29 1.163 1.1-.798 1.527-2.71 1.446-4.067-.16-2.703-3.125-3.287-5.005-2.417-2.157.997-2.647 3.67-1.673 4.891.123.156.219.25.177.408-.062.245-.117.49-.185.734-.05.182-.202.247-.385.173a2.212 2.212 0 0 1-.9-.675c-.827-1.024-1.064-3.049.03-4.763 1.21-1.9 3.463-2.668 5.52-2.435 2.457.28 4.01 1.958 4.3 3.863.133.867.038 3.006-1.18 4.518-1.402 1.737-3.672 1.852-4.72.786-.08-.082-.145-.178-.224-.275\" fill=\"#FFF\"\/><\/g><\/svg><br \/>\n<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-114173 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.lifesavvy.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/02\/f8c1e894.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/young-woman-wearing-warm-sweater-resting-325858112\" data-credittext=\"Alena Ozerova\/Shutterstock.com\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/young-woman-wearing-warm-sweater-resting-325858112\">Alena Ozerova\/Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing with meows: Once cats grow up, they mostly stop meowing at <em>each other<\/em>.

As the ASPCA notes, adult\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aspca.org\/pet-care\/cat-care\/common-cat-behavior-issues\/meowing-and-yowling\">cats often meow<\/a> to greet humans, to ask for attention (such as playtime or pets), or to ask for food.

In this way, cats and their humans \u201cgradually develop an individual \u2018language\u2019 that they both understand, but that is not shared by other cats or other owners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words: How you and your cat communicate is unlike how any other human-cat pair communicates\u2014right down to the individual meows.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Other_Sounds_Do_Cats_Make\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">What Other Sounds Do Cats Make?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Meowing isn\u2019t the only way cats communicate vocally, though; all meows might be cat vocalizations, but not all cat vocalizations are meows. In fact, cats use all manner of different sounds to make their thoughts and feelings known.<\/p>\n<p>In 1978, Mildred Moelk codified\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jstor.org\/stable\/1416947?seq=9#metadata_info_tab_contents\">an identification system<\/a> still <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/vihar-2017.vihar.org\/assets\/papers\/VIHAR-2017_paper_5.pdf\">often used today<\/a> that divides cat vocalizations into three categories: Murmurs, or sounds produced when the cat\u2019s mouth remains closed; \u201cfixed vowel-patterns,\u201d or sounds produced when the cat\u2019s mouth \u201cis opened and then gradually closed\u201d; and open-mouthed sounds, or \u201csounds produced while the mouth is held tensely open in one position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meows, along with howls and yowls, fall under the second category; meanwhile, purrs and trilling and making up the first, while growls, snarls, hisses, spit, chattering, and chirping make up the third. Cats may use any number of sounds or combinations of sounds to communicate both with humans and each other.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, cat sounds \u201cdon\u2019t occur in a vacuum,\u201d as certified applied animal behaviorist <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.humanesociety.org\/news\/understanding-feline-friend\">Suzanne Hetts, Ph.D. told the Humane Society<\/a> of the United States of America in 2015. The body language that accompanies the meows and other sounds a cat might make is part of their communication style, as well.<\/p>\n<p>If you interpret a cat\u2019s meow as an invitation to pet it, for example, only to find that when you reach out, the cat pulls away from your hand\u2014well, that\u2019s your cat telling you that it\u2019s not actually looking for pets right now; it wants something else.<\/p>\n<p>Does your cat meow at you while attempting to lead you somewhere? That\u2019s a pretty clear indication of what it wants, too.
