Why do cats meow? Besides for their basic needs.?

I saw a documentary on PBS a while back that said that the meowing noises that cats make at humans are sounds that they ONLY make at humans and that they never make those same sounds at other cats. So, I guess that, since we humans talk ALL the time, almost constantly, they're just joining in, like maybe they think we're all singing or something. ;-)

Good luck!... :-D

its just how they talk. Our cats meow a lot like they are talking to each other and the kids think its funny when they meow to the cats and the cats meow back like they understand each other

some times a cat will meow just to know where you are.try to say something,like his name or simply im over here.

Some cats are very talkative and some rarely make a sound. Sounds like you have a talkative one :)

they emit distinctive sounds alot of them you are able to no longer pay attention meows how they impart with human beings & a meow is a intense pitched roar meow ability, hi; purr ability, i admire that; hiss ability, lower back off infra sound can recommend something

Thats how cats talk

My cat does this all the time
