Mysteries of cat's miaowUnlike other animals, language of cats is very rich. They well developed vocal chords at the expense of which they are capable to make the most various sounds. Range of miaow varies from ultrasound which the cat mother communicates with kittens, before the deaf and low growl published during defense or protection of the territory. The uniqueness of cat's miaow is that the majority of sounds is intended directly for the person. For years of life with people of a cat learned to imitate intonation of their voices therefore it is possible to determine by miaow easily that is wanted by a cat. Surprisingly, but in communication with each other these animals practically do not use sounds. The various miaow turned to other cat's, it is possible to hear only from kittens. Later animals use this set of sounds only at communication with the person. High viscous notes are very similar to a voice of the small child, and cats use it to draw attention of the owner. In communication with other animals of a cat make other sounds - hissing, loud shouts and silent growl. And that, these sound experiments are used only when the cat is threatened by danger.

What is wanted by a catPersistent miaow of low tones means that the cat lacks attention. At the same time she can rub about your legs, go for you on all house and be stirred in every possible way. To distract an animal, stroke it or give a favourite toy. Silent, almost inaudible miaow is a request of caress. The cat says that she missed the owner and wishes to communicate to him. Also the small animal can ask delicately something forbidden, for example, a piece of your cutlet.
Except miaow, cats are capable to make the mass of other sounds - howl, purring, clicking and chatter.
Lingering loud miaow with the sound appearing in it "э" means nervousness. So the cat can mew at hit in an unfamiliar situation and also when you unusually behave - for example, did not feed her with the loved liver in time. Miaow with a grassiruyushchy "r" at the beginning tells something about strong desire of a cat to receive. The animal can make this sound at the sight of a tasty forage or an interesting toy. In transfer to human such miaow means: "Give me it rather!" The fast vibrating miaow consisting of several short sounds can be regarded as a greeting. You can hear this miaow when you come back home after long absence. Such sound the cat expresses the joy on the fact that the owner at last came. The plaintive lingering miaow sounding as if "in a nose", can say that it to a cat is bad, lonely or is even sick. Caress an animal and if sounds proceed, perhaps, it is necessary to consult to the veterinarian.
