One of the most adorable sounds known to humans is the sound of cats meowing. And did you know that cats only meow to humans? Yep, they do it to communicate with us! According to an article by ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), “Cats meow for many reasons—to say hello, to ask for things, and to tell us when something’s wrong.”
If you want to watch cats meowing adorably and uniquely, check out these videos:
4 Cute and Dorky Cats Meowing
- Underwater Meows
This is one of the first cat videos that had people obsessing over cats (or the internet, at least). It’s a video of a cat named McLovin – and frankly, the name alone is enough to fall in love with this kit. McLovin can be seen in the video being dramatic, as he’s crouching while being given a bath. And the responses in the comments? Well, they all collectively agreed that the sound of McLovin’s meows is spelled “mlem!”
According to McLovin’s owners, he passed away a few years ago – but his legacy lives on.
- A Hilariously Deep Meow
Typically, a common reaction to the sound of cats meowing is to respond with “aww.” But not to this cat – this black and white kit named Jack has a surprisingly deep voice. According to his humans, Jack has “a very rare form of laryngeal paralysis,” they added that “his voice changed after his first surgery,” Fortunately, Jack seems extremely loved and well taken care of!
- A “Big Angy” Chonk
As we previously mentioned, cats meow to communicate. But can you guess what the cats in this video are trying to communicate? Yeah – umm – kits don’t seem very happy. Which only makes the video even more hilarious! Though not all of the sounds are technically considered meowing; but rather, yowling. It’s still silly and cute, nonetheless!
- The Tiny Chonk Who’s Very Vocal (About Not Wanting a Bath)
Here’s an undeniably squishable kitty video – and it’s of a very whiny mini chonk who’s not in the mood for baths! According to the description of the video, the uploader stated that this kitty usually loves to take a bath – except for that time when the video was recorded. The verdict? Kitten got what it wanted – bath time was canceled!
Possible Reasons Why Your Cat is Meowing
Most of the time, cats meow to let you know that they’re hungry, thirsty, feeling cold, bored, they want to go outside, and many more – and these are generally harmless “demands.” Hey, that’s just our lives as cat owners! This is what we signed up for!
However, there are also other reasons why your cat is meowing. Here are some of them:
- Your cat wants to mate.
- Kit is stressed out.
- Your kitty wants you to pay attention to them.
- Kitty cat is aging.
- There might be something wrong with them (aka they’re sick and need veterinary aid).
Meow!
When we hear cats meowing, perhaps we should take the time to realize how fortunate we are – as cats meow primarily for us! Of course, it’s also our job to find out why our beloved cats do it. Do make sure, however, that your fluffy feline isn’t in need of medical attention.
