Best Answer

It could be argued that both bark and meow are onomatopoeia; humans like to classify noises and give them names that sound like the noise themselves. Cats and dogs of different sizes make different noises, and without seeing the animal you can't be guaranteed that you're hearing a meow and not a bark (or vise versa). So the difference between a bark and a meow may be in our minds.

IF this helps,:) Maybe because the dog is trying to tell you dsomething is wrong or it could be hurting and does not fill well.

ANSWER:

Dogs cry and bark to communicate. Crying tells you the same thing it does when people cry: that they are sad and upset. Barking is meant to get your attention. Dogs can't speak the same way we do, but they have different barks for various meanings. If you pay attention, you can figure out what your dog is trying to say to you.

Barking and not meowing is part of the essence of "dogness". If they meowed and did not bark, they would not be dogs. So your question is underlaid by a nominalist tautology.

Because that's how they like to "talk." Each of these animals are two different species, and each have their own way of communicating with humans and with each other.

Well Cats meow because that is how Cats talk to other cats. Same with Dogs. If Dogs and Cats barked then you could only tell them a part by what they look like. Hope my answer is alright
