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.
my cat loses it if she wakes up and can’t see me. I live in a studio. there aren’t a lot of “out of sight” options. at one point, there was just a screen between me, in my computer chair, and her, on the bed. we still did the whole call and response.
she doesn’t look for me, she just starts yelling until I respond.
“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.
I love it. My cat routinely walks through the room I’m in every 20-30mins giving me little chips along the way.
Don’t think so. When my cat says meow she means “bring on the food pronto”
Yeah… My oldest cat makes different noises for different requests. Yowling near door to go outside, chirping near bowls for dinner, and little mews while following you around to be picked up. And I’m not really sure it’s an outlier case as the other two younger cats are starting to learn to do the same.
“hey guys look what I taught this idiot to do”
Older cats absolutely teach younger ones their behaviors. It’s no coincidence!
It goes both ways. I just leaned over and said “mrrow” to my cat, which she immediately responded to with her own “mrrrrow”.
(duh)
