AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the humorous notion that cats communicate in their own unique language rather than English. Participants share anecdotes about their cats' meows, likening them to greetings like "aloha" that can convey various meanings. There's an emphasis on the idea that the tone and context of a meow are more significant than the word itself, with some jokingly suggesting that cats expect their owners to learn this "language." The conversation also touches on the amusing sounds cats make, with references to popular culture, such as the seagulls from "Finding Nemo," and personal experiences of cats vocalizing in distinctive ways. Overall, the thread highlights the playful and often misunderstood nature of feline communication.

Wow, talking cats! :!)

Edit: :smile::smile: :smile:
 
my cat thinks meow is like aloha. It could mean a lot of things.
 
That was cool, I had to book note it so I could replay it, all the live long day!

I'm sure that you already know this, but I just wanted to add that with cat talk...it's not what you say, but meow you say it that counts.

She must consider you a very advanced student. I have only been taught the "tail codes", and it took me over 30 years to learn the basics.

So very true! :approve:
 
A common misunderstanding, cats aren't saying 'meow', they're saying 'now?'

I'm sure of it. Especially when they are waiting for you to change the litter box.


Marlon, those kitties look quite unhappy! Especially that last one :eek:

For some reason that reminds me of the seagulls in Finding Nemo...http://www.reelwavs.com/movies/finding_nemo/mine1.wav"

One of my kitties says "Me! Me! Me!"
