What do Cat Sounds Mean?

Hi there! Did you hear that sound, 'Meow!'? That's a cat talking! Let's learn together what those sounds mean, especially when it's a mommy cat looking for her little ones.

Why Do Cats Meow?

Cats meow for many reasons. Sometimes they want to say hello, ask for food, or even just get your attention!

Mother Cats and Their Kittens

A mother cat, or queen, makes special sounds when she is calling her kittens. When you hear a long 'Mrrrrrr!', it usually means she is looking for them or wants them to come back to her. This is super important because she wants to keep her babies safe and close!

What Can You Do?

If you ever hear a mother cat calling, you can watch and see if any little kittens come running back to her. It’s a nice family moment!

Fun Fact!

Did you know that cats can make over 100 different sounds? They are very chatty little animals!
