Unraveling the Mysteries of Strange Cat Behaviors

Meowing

One meow can convey a multitude of meanings. Contrary to popular belief, cats do not meow at each other. Instead, they reserve their meows specifically for communication with humans. While it may be challenging for our ears to distinguish the nuances, each meow carries a unique message.
