Do you know what your cat is trying to tell you when he meowed? You have to be careful, because these meowing that is thought to be harmless can sometimes be a sign of a health problem.
Miailing is one of the cat’s communication tools. Miaulements that touch us when the cat claims hugs, annoy us when it meowed in the middle of the night so that we open the door to him, but can also worry us when our animal is not in good shape. As with the tears of babies, cat vocalizations have a meaning. A meaning that it is not necessarily easy to decrypt! To achieve this, you must be attentive to the different signs that accompany meowing and monitor under what circumstances it occurs.
“”Cats are able to create effective communication with humans thanks to the flexibility of their vocal behavior “, Note a study published in 2019. So, when your Miaule cat, he talks to you! According to this study, the vocal vocal directory is vast and can count up to 21 vocalizations. Miaulements whose intensity and sound vary, but which are of course to be linked to the context in which they arise. Because the cat, when it meowed, can also leaf, growl, make the back round with the bristled hairs, or simply purring. This is for example the case when you prepare his bowl of food, he revolves around you while purring and meowing.
The study also defines the sound produced by the cry of pain. It is a short and intense cry characterized by a tense and open mouth and a powerful expiratory effort. The sound is strong, sharp, hard and short. For example, it is issued during active fights between cats when an animal is injured. It is an easily recognizable sound that we sometimes hear at night in the street when cats fight. It is therefore important to be very attentive to any meow that could translate discomfort or pain: a cat that mewls in an unusual way (some vocalize a lot, others almost never!), More often than usual or differently, all this must put the chip in the ear.
Also be careful if your animal meowed when he jumps or makes certain movements, or for example when you take it in your arms. This can be a sign of pain. Joint pain in senior cats, or simply a paw injury, in the pads or a claw torn from cat regardless of their age.
