Whenever my cats meow at me it usually means "I love you I love you!! (Please give tummy rubs (but not too many tummy rubs because then I will kill you))"

I've noticed that sometimes my cat will meow from the other room so I'll answer asking what's up, making sure to say his name, and he's usually content with that unless he approaches me. 🤷‍♂️

Then you're all like:

"You are approaching meee?"

Cue to the Stands appearing behind you two.

Yeah object permanence is not strong with mine either. She'll go into another room, forget I exist, scream, I respond, she's like, "Oh hey, you're right where I left you!"

I love it. My cat routinely walks through the room I'm in every 20-30mins giving me little chips along the way.

Don't think so. When my cat says meow she means "bring on the food pronto"

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Yeah... My oldest cat makes different noises for different requests. Yowling near door to go outside, chirping near bowls for dinner, and little mews while following you around to be picked up. And I'm not really sure it's an outlier case as the other two younger cats are starting to learn to do the same.

"hey guys look what I taught this idiot to do"
