What do your cats meow for?

[HappyKatz]

Just wanted to start a thread to see what types of things your cat(s) meow for!
________________________________________________
Sliver meows to be pet & for ice cubes!

Snowball meows for food, food, & more food.

Sage meows for everything, hes very noisy.
We think he likes hearing his own voice - hes always talking!

Sushie meows because she wants attention.

Spooky doesn't meow too often - shes our quiet girl.

Spici meows when cats get too close to her, when she doesn't want to be pet,
when she wants to go outside, & when she wants snacks.

Shilo meows for food, she loves food.
She'll wake up from a deep sleep to come meow for food.

Sadee meows to get her way. She meows & meows to go outside.
She loves going in the garden.

Sasha meows once in a while. Shes otherwise quiet.
She may let out a little prrp when shes trying to get our attention.

Cassie meows when she thinks she's alone....... for instance, if she has been outdoors and we aren't in sight when she comes through the cat flap, she will call us. Also if she is asleep downstairs and we have gone to bed, she will meow continuously until she find us.

Everytime she thinks she's alone, she will pick up her 'comfort mouse'........ a well chewed toy that she's had from a kitten and meow with it in her mouth.

It would be easier telling why they don't meow...My lot are constantly talking!
Merlin announces when he is going out, and when he comes in, when he wants catnip, when he wants a cuddle, when there is not enough biscuits in his dish...
Leo just moans for the sake of it....
Ollie constantly is telling me storys..
Casper, when he wants a cuddle, when he wants food, when he wants out, if one of the others have upset him...
Chancer is not too bad, mainly when he wants out or fed...

Pip is very vocal - he meows when he wants to come out of his Pipland crate in the morning (he is very patient and doesn't start until it begins to get light!). He meows if he doesn't know where we are. He purrrrrrrs when he's found us (has a purrrrr of a much larger cat).

Kizzy is quieter - she chirrups when she comes in the cat flap; she meows if she's brought something in with her. Otherwise she's a "if I sit and look at you long enough, you'll figure out what I want" sort of girl. She does purrrr when being smoothed and loves her tummy rubbed!

Angie, can I ask why Pip is still shut in a cage at night?

[Phoenix]

Beauty never meowed, don't know whether she could.

Dylan meows when he can't find us, when he wants attention, when he wants something better in his food dish, he "mrrps" when he goes out the cat flap, he meows when he wants to chat, think it would be easier to say when he DOESN'T talk

Leia is a quiet cat. She will respond with a small prrp when I can't find her and call "Where's Leia?". She meows when she wants food, but mostly does the silent meow with an imploring face: "I'm so weak with hunger that I can hardly speak!" act.

My Siamese could talk the ears off a brass monkey!

[Moli]

Sounds like my boys Eileen!!!

Alfie is a reasonably quiet boy

He will soft meow to sort of acknowledge us if we meet him outside in the garden.
He will ask to get out and in the window with a long meow.
If he wants his treats he will sit and stare at us with a most annoyingly short sharp, give me attention now meow (obviously practised in private until he got it just right)
Otherwise he is quite quiet. We never hear him purr, you have to feel his throat to know if he is purring or not.

They all have unique meows. Guinness with being a big cat meows realy dainty. The daddy of Maisey's kittens when he meow's says hello.
