Cats and dogs vocal cords?

i really do not know.. but the dog might have less because it is logicaly inferior and larger than the small average household cat.. Inferior? Ok, sure. Not everythngon the net is true, people. The fact is that most animals who make noise fromt heir mouths have a form of vocal chords. Their shape and size make the difference in how they sound when they make their typical noises. Why can't they talk? Well, the shape and density of the vocal chord materials makes it possible to formbasic hoises (like a trumpet, tuba, etc). The mount of air they force through those chords affects volume and tone. Howling (in dogs and other canines) is a slow release from the diaphragm which vibrates the vocal chords in a certain rhythm depending on what type of howl they want. A whine...same thing. A bark is one forceful espulsion of air.
