From Chirping To Chattering – Eight Sounds Cats Make
Reading Time: 2 minutesIf you really listen, the sounds cats make can be very revealing. We don’t just purr and meow. We chirp and chatter, too. I’ve translated some cat sounds for you.
Can you explain the sounds cats make, Thomasina? My cat often chirps at me when I get home. What does that mean?

Hi, Curious!
Oh, how nice that your cat chirps to you! He’s saying “welcome home!” Not all of us do that (I don’t), and you should feel very honored!
When we talk to each other, we usually use body language. We talk with our eyes, ears and tails. But since humans don’t seem to understand our native language, we make sounds, like your cat’s chirp, to communicate with you.
