(60,010 posts)we have 2 kitties, they are 6 mos. old now, and they have a particular meow when they are trying to locate each other in the house. In fact, it is so particular, that I can imitate it and they will come to where ever I am .
Otherwise, they meow for specific reasons when they want something from us...door open, food, etc.
Fascinating about the purring frequency.

(29,294 posts)Usually happened when she woke up from a nap -- she'd meow a 2-syllable meow that sounded just like "ma-ma?" as she trotted around looking for me. How precious is that?!

(60,010 posts)the second syllable sounds like a question, it is higher than the first.
I started replying to them when they did that, so they still keep doing it.
they also understand "what is THAT?" and look over/check out whatever I am showing them, esp. when I am carrying them.

(16,394 posts)My cat, Zooey, runs between my feet as walk down the stairs--not up, mind you--down the stairs. She especially does this at night and when I'm half asleep. I've learned to beware. There is really no other explanation other than attempted homicide.
