Day 195- Do cats understand us humans ?




As you know , I have 2 cats , Pitchounette and Leeloo and God are they chatty !!!!
And it seems that they talk to each other , which would make it normal . Cats meowing back to a cat must mean something.

But ...

Do they get anything we tell them ? they seem to understand me , or am I stupid ?

Did a bit of research over the internet and here is something i found .

  • mew - plea for attention
  • mew (soundless) - a very polite plea for attention
  • meow - emphatic plea for attention
  • MEOW! - a command!
  • mee-o-ow (with falling cadence) - protest or whine
  • MEE-o-ow (shrill whine) - stronger protest
  • MYUP! (short, sharp, single note) - righteous indignation
  • MEOW! Meow! (repeated) - panicky call for help
  • mier-r-r-ow (chirrup with liting cadence) - friendly greeting
