I’ve noticed that sometimes my cat will meow from the other room so I’ll answer asking what’s up, making sure to say his name, and he’s usually content with that unless he approaches me. 🤷♂️
Yeah object permanence is not strong with mine either. She’ll go into another room, forget I exist, scream, I respond, she’s like, “Oh hey, you’re right where I left you!”
Tiny fuzzy airhead.
“I’m alive, are you?”
“Yes.”
Then you’re all like:
“You are approaching meee?”
Cue to the Stands appearing behind you two.
I have conversations with my cats, they have really impressive inflection/tone
I had to explain to my boyfriend that my cat absolutely has a “name” for him. My cat has specific meows for all his favorite humans.
aww. ya I have complete conversations with my ragdoll, I’ll say you have a nice nap?! and he’ll go YA!!! and he’ll sit by his treat box and do a really hi pitched beg like PLEASE!!! they’re really entertaining animals
Why does this keep appearing? Cats most definitely do communicate by meowing too. I’d really love it if our village cats didn’t chose the street out my widow a midnight as their debate grounds, shit’s loud af and I always have to climb out the window to break up the fight.
and sometimes this sounds like a crying baby.
Don’t think so. When my cat says meow she means “bring on the food pronto”
Iirc, interpersonal communication between cats is done at a frequency that humans can’t hear, which is part of why they yell at us.
We have one cat with likely brain damage (he got super sick as a kitten) who tries to communicate with us on that frequency, so it looks like he’s silently meowing.

this feels true but sometimes my cat makes such sad meows and I run over and go “oh my poor baby what’s wrong who hurt you”
