A domestic cat has over one hundred vocal chords, so can make a huge variety of different meows, squeaks, chirps and yowls.
The cat may try to meow but no sound comes out due to a condition called laryngitis, which causes inflammation or irritation of the vocal cords, making it difficult for the cat to produce sound.
A cat may meow silently due to a medical condition called laryngitis, which causes inflammation of the vocal cords and prevents the cat from making sound.
After moving, a cat typically makes a "meow" sound.
A cat may meow without making a sound due to a condition called silent meowing, which can be caused by issues with the cat's vocal cords or larynx. It could also be a behavioral response to stress, excitement, or simply a way for the cat to communicate without vocalizing. If your cat is meowing silently, it may be worth consulting a veterinarian to rule out any underlying health concerns.
Not exactly like a cat, no. Cats purr by using muscles that vibrate their vocal cords, while elephant vocal cords are so large that they can make a similar noise without being specially vibrated. Elephants can, and do, make a noise similar to cats purring. This sound is called 'tummy rumbling' because it sounds a bit like a tummy rumple. Elephants make this sound to keep in contact and let the rest of the heard know that all is well.
Yes, a meow is one sound that a cat can make.
When doing short a sounds the letter a will make a sound such as in the word cat. In the word cat the a is making a short 'a' sound. To make the long a sound another vowel has to be changing or contradicting the a. Some long a words are - lake, take & make. There are many words with the long a sound that don't follow that pattern such as mail hail and hair as well as pail.
A cat will make a hissing sound when it feels that it is in any form of danger. This sound is made to warn other animals or people off.
The cat expels air across his/her vocal cords.
Animal vocal cords are about the same as ours, but it is the shape of their tongue and mouths which make the different sounds come out. Some animals, such as the cat, has a second vocal cord used for purring.
It depends on the vocal stress, but "a" is normally a schwa or uh (short U sound).If used for the letter A, or stressed for some reason, it has the long A sound.Examples:"grade A milk""I wouldn't mind having a cat, but that can quickly become having many cats."
