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.

Can you get you vocal cords 'swapped' with the vocal cords of a bird like for instance the Lyre Bird?

No, it is not currently possible to swap human vocal cords with the vocal cords of a bird such as the Lyre Bird. Even if it were possible, the vocal anatomy and function of humans and birds are very different, so the transplant would likely not work as intended.


Do cats use their ordinary vocal cords for purring?

It turns out that cats have special wiring. The wiring travels from the brain to the muscles in the voice box, and this wiring is able to vibrate the muscles so that they act as a valve for air flowing past the voice box. The muscles work both during inhalation and exhalation, which creates the impression that cats can purr continuously. The air passes through the valve, which opens and closes rapidly to create the purring sound.
