Do cats talk to each other?


Do you think your cats talk? I ask because it's something that has interigued me for years since this incidedent.
I have two cats brother and sister this was years ago and they were about 7 or 8 at the time. Cleo the female is about small average size for a cat, Oscar was real adventurer then and I think "top cat" in the area although neutered young he is a bit cat. On this day I think my cats spoke to each other.
Cleo went out the front of the house(we live in a quiet cul de sac on council estate) she had only been gone a few minutes when she was chased back by a large b&w Tom cat, she ran in hissing and swearing now Oz (Oscar) was out. Cleo complained loudly and I shooed the cat away. A couple of hours later same thing happened.This went on for a couple of weeks Oscar never being in at the time, the B&W cat never made it through the cat flap though but terrorised Cleo when he saw her.
One day soon after Cleo asleep on the front and the Tomcat walked past didn't bother Cleo but walked past Cleo got up stalked upstairs where she was seen to rub heads with Oscar who was asleep on the bed Oscar flew down the stairs out the cat flap and beat seven colours of ehm out of this poor Tom Cat chasing him half way down the Croft and back until we saw them no more Oscar returned 1/2 hour later (unhurt) as usual but B&W cat hair all down the road. Oscar went upstairs where Cleo was sitting (having not moved) and touched Cleo's head and down she wnet back into the same place she had been earlier and went back to sleep.

Did she tell her brother about the bully, if notwhy did this happen the Tom cat never bothered Oscar. what happened between my two of them I'd love to know if they talk?

I do think that there is some form of comunication between them.

My two are probably telling each other to f off, and they hate one another

How strange! Perhaps there's a lot more to their understanding that we don't know about.

Lovely story!

Thought I'd bring this thread to the top again as I would love to know the answer and as we have more members now - maybe you multi cat owners have an thought or two on the subject - do you think your cats talk to each other?

Re: Do cats talk to each other?


I am sure mine do, Oliver and Casper are very close, if one cannot see the other, they yowl to each other....They sit in the garden very close, like a couple of old men, I am sure they are debating what to get up to next!!

Re: Do cats talk to each other?


Thanks for bringing that story up again Kazz.....I enjoyed reading it!

I'm afraid I can't answer your question as I've only ever had 1 cat at a time....

I am also sure Leo swears at Merlin, he sort of crumbles under his breath at Merlin sometimes...

Re: Do cats talk to each other?


See it always intrigued me the B&W cat never to my knowledge bothered Oz, yet he did terorise Cleo. The Tom cat never was seen again. Strange I think they must talk they have to in some way.
