Context: Read the text about cat meows.
While kittens meow to their mothers, they stop once they are old enough to take care of themselves. At that point, cats use smell, touch, and body language to talk to each other. So if adult cats aren't making noise for each other, why do cats meow? Cats meow to talk with their humans!
If you are a cat owner, you may be interested in understanding your cat's meows. Different meows can have distinct meanings. A short, high squeak or chirp is a cheerful hello. A louder and longer meow is a cat's way of saying "Please?" or "Let me out!" An even longer and louder meow is your cat's way of demanding something, like "Food! Now!" Of course, the best cat sound to many cat owners is a low, rumbling purr that comes from a happy cat.
