Some people have observed their cats walking around the house meowing to themselves. Meowing is all-purpose your cat may be using "meow" as a greeting, a command, an objection or an announcement.(Any pronounced behavior change should trigger a trip to the vet to make sure your cat isn’t ill or in pain.) Hearing loss can also cause a kitty to vocalize louder than usual because they can’t determine their volume. A cat who feels anxious or confused may meow to seek reassurance. Two possible reasons for this are age-related dementia and deteriorating eyesight. Kittens who are handled often and well socialized may turn into more vocal adults and certain breeds, like Siameses and Abyssinians, are loquacious by nature.Ĭats can also become increasingly vocal as they age. While some cats rarely make a peep, others won’t let you get a word in edgewise. They'll tell you when they're hungry, when they're feeling affectionate and if they're feeling threatened or in pain. You'll learn a lot when you can interpret your cat's wide vocabulary of chirps and meows. In time, you may become so attuned to your kitty’s personality and habits that you’re able to detect subtle changes in their mood and even recognize health problems before physical signs of illness appear. You can better understand your furry friend by paying attention to their vocalizations, body postures and daily routines.
Cats lack the facial expressiveness of dogs, they’re generally quieter and their behaviors can be harder to interpret-but this doesn’t mean that the feline mystique is impenetrable.
