Cats, with their elegance and mystery, surprise us with a wide variety of meows. Although their meaning may be subtle and requires attention to decipher, each expresses different needs and emotions.
The communicator and activist for animal welfare and biodiversity, Pancho Cavero, has recently published a very illustrative video on Instagram that can help thousands of people understand the demands of their feline companions through the sounds they produce. with the mouth.
According to Cavero, if the meow is short and soft, “it means that it is greeting you in a friendly way”, while if it is a long and prolonged meow, “it is possible that your cat is demanding something.” Among many other things, it may be that the animal is asking for attention or food. The longer you spend with your pet, the easier it will be to understand what he or she needs.
If they are “short and repeated” meows, it means that the cat is “anxious or excited”, so it is common to hear them when the animal is about to get into a fight with another feline.
The publication includes fragments of other videos that show very clear examples of the types of meows. So now you know, it’s just a matter of trying hard to understand and identify what situation your cat is in.
