“ My meow’ s may be a sign of affection-- or I may be just confusing you for attention”
Like crying from a baby, the meow has many different interpretations. A high pitch could indicate pain – or is it love?
Sometimes cats even use their meows to trick you into paying extra attention to them. If you have multiple cats in the household, we’ ve even observed them using an inside joke to“ fool master.”
Needless to say, the simple sounds our cats make, mean far more than meets the eye. Their sense of verbal communication is deeper and more complex than previously thought, and only now are we understanding that cats have a language of their own.
The Cat Language Bible™: The owner’ s manual to understanding what your cat is actually saying
Thankfully, there’ s no need to guess at what your cat may be thinking. Human to cat communication research is now to the point where we largely understand both verbal and nonverbal behaviors from felines.
● Just imagine if you could understand why your cat was sulking in the corner. How much better would you be able to provide the love and care to ease his concerns and bring him into a happy mood once again?
● Have you ever lazed about on the couch with your cat nearby, showing your affection with your closeness and perhaps even wanting to actually tell her that you loved her?
● Imagine what it would be like to actually speak to your cat. And I do mean, to have a two-way conversation. As simple and rudimentary as it may be, it’ s still 1,000 times better than what I see so many cat owners doing: using some animal form of baby speak that doesn’ t mean anything to felines.
Yes, all of this is possible when you actually understand your cat. As it turns out, those meows you’ re used to hearing form about 20 different sounds. When combined with body language, they open up a wide array of actual words that can be thought of as“ cat language”.
The Cat language Bible™, therefore, is our research-based guide to understanding this language, and also responding back to your cat in a way he or she can also understand.
