When cats meow does it mean they are communicating or just simply making a sound?

Cats won't normally meow to communicate with other cats, but they will meow to communicate with humans. Sometimes they meow to show you they need something (like if they have ran out of food) or just to respond to what you are doing (like calling their name).


Why do some cats not meow?

The cat's meow is her way of communicating with people. Cats meow for many reasons—to say hello, to ask for things, and to tell us when something's wrong. Meowing is an interesting vocalization in that adult cats don't actually meow at each other, just at people.


What is wrong when a cat does not meow?

Nothing at all. Cats only meow when they are unhappy or want attention. If a cat does not meow it is obviously well taken care of. That's not true, cats also meow when they are happy or want to tell you something, or they need help. If a cat doesn't seem to meow ever, then you can either just live with it or ask a vet.

What does it mean when cat meows?

Kittens meow to alert their mother to their presence and inform her they need something... much like a baby's cry. Adult cats do not normally meow to each other. They meow to humans for much the same reasons that kittens meow at their mothers. It seems to be learned behavior, since adult feral cats don't usually do it; cats are fairly bright, and pet cats learn that reminding their people it's time to feed (or pet, or play with) the kitty sometimes pays off. One of my cats sometimes meows because she seems to think it's expected of her. When a human pauses speaking but keeps looking at her, she apparently figures it's her turn to say something, so she meows. When she's in the right mood, she will happily play this game for several minutes at a stretch. The other one, who is less social, sometimes meows at people who approach her in the apparent hope that if she acknowledges our existence vocally, we'll leave her alone and go on about our business.


Can a tiger kitten be fed meow mix cat food?

Um- probally not a good idea. ALL cats, not just tigers, need to be on a diet of meat if it can eat solid food, or fed specially formulated milk through a bottle if they are very young. Tigers are wild animals not pets. Meow Mix has very little meat in and high in fillers that provide no nutrition to a feline, so should not really be fed to even pet cats.
