    In fact the miau sound you are used to is produced exclusively in presence of humans, normally they make other sounds

      Yes, there were studies where it was proven that these sounds are actively being reinforced by human interactions; cats learn that this works

        can confirm. i basically meow at my cat whenever he looks like he wants something. based on how he reacts i can figure out if he’s hungry, needs attention or is just doing his hourly sweep of the house.
