Why Do Cats "Talk"?
Unlike dogs, cats weren’t bred for human companionship in the same way. They domesticated themselves—yes, you read that right. Thousands of years ago, wild cats started hanging around humans to catch rodents. The ones who were less fearful of humans stuck around, reproduced, and eventually evolved into the companion animals we know today.
As a result, their form of communication isn't always intuitive. But research shows that cats do develop unique vocalizations just for their humans. If your cat meows at you but not at other cats, that’s because you are their specific audience.
Can We Understand Cat Language?
Yes and no. While cats don't have a formal "language" like humans, their vocal and body language can express a wide range of emotions and desires. Scientists have categorized common cat sounds—like trills, meows, hisses, and growls—and linked them to behaviors. But each cat also develops its own "vocabulary."
That’s where a tool like CatTranslator.net comes in.
