Not a human baby (how could they, most cats have never seen a human baby), but as a kitten they meow to their parents to get food etc. So we’re their parents now and I guess they never really grew up and became independent.
Cats meow in the same register that human babies cry. They aren’t saying that cats are specifically trying to cry like a human baby, but that cats as a species have grown over thousands of years to meow in the same pitches as human babies.
While I’m still not sure if this is true, there was a very interesting clip I saw to support the evidence, where a tiger enclosure was somehow across the street from a farm’s cow enclosure. The tigers had started “mooing” along their edge of the fence in an effort to make the juicy, meat-filled cows feel safe around them.
Cats just meow to get our attention. Fun fact do you know that meowing is them mimicking the sounds of a baby?

Well adult cats raised around humans figure out what meows work the best and that is one that sounds like baby
