Struggling to Understand Your Cat’s Behavior? Here’s What You Need to Know

Vocalization

Animals can be highly intuitive and are able to express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals have distinct vocals that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any predators or look for shelter. But cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills. They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and you’re able to interpret it, by reading their body language. If a cat is hungry, it will keep meowing to attract attention and find a source of food. However, when a cat is looking for affection, they tend to produce stretched and cute meows, while they try to rub their heads against your body. Meowing starts as soon as a kitten is brought to life and uses it to get the mother’s attention and be fed. Many cats don’t only meow to convey a message, but also hiss and wail to get their point across.
