Developed for years, here are some keys to understand what you cat tries to tell you!!

miaowbu: Feed me.
meeow: Pet me.
mrooww: I love you.
Miioo-oo-oo: I am in love and must meet my betrothed outside beneath the hedge. Don't wait up.
mrow: I feel like making noise.
rrrow-mawww: Please, the time is come to tidy the cat box.
rrrow-miawww: I have remedied the cat box untidiness by shoveling the contents as far out of the box as was practical.
miaowmiaow: Play with me.
Miaowmioaw: Have you noticed the shortage of available cat toys in this room?
mmeww: I believe I have heard a burglar. If you would like to go and beat him senseless, I shall be happy to keep your spot in the bed warm.
mioawmioaw: Since I can find nothing better to play with, I shall see what happens when I sharpen my claws on this handy piece of furniture.
raowwwww: I think I shall now spend time licking the most private parts of my anatomy.
mrowwwww: I am now recalling, with sorrow, that some of my private parts did not return with me from that visit to the vet.
Roww-maww-roww : I am so glad to see that you have returned home with both arms full of groceries. I will now rub myself against your legs and attempt to trip you as you walk towards the kitchen.
gakk-ak-ak: My digestive passages seem to have formed a hairball. Wherever could this have come from? I shall leave it here upon the carpeting.
mow: Snuggling is a good idea.
moww: Shedding is pretty good, too.
mowww!: I was enjoying snuggling and shedding in the warm clean laundry until you removed me so unkindly.
mroow: I have forced my body into a tiny space in order to look cute. How'm I doin?
Miaow! Miaow!: I have discovered that, although one may be able to wedge his body through the gap behind the stove and into that little drawer filled with pots and pans, the reverse path is slightly more difficult to navigate.
Mraakk!: Oh, small bird! Please come over here.
ssssRoww! I believe that I have found a woodchuck or similar small animal. I shall now act terribly brave.
mmmrowmmm: It is certain that the best tasting fish is one you have caught yourself.
mmmmmmm: If I sit in the sunshine for another hour or so, I think I shall be satisfied.
Mreoaw: Please ask room service to send up another can of tunafish.
Mreeeow: Do you serve catnip with that?
Miaooww! Mriaow!: Since you are using the can opener, I am certain that you understand the value of a well-fed and pampered cat. Please continue.
Mrrrrrrrrrrroooooooww: Hold me, I am tired

Enjoy!!!!

To the untrained eye this is a joke, but take the time to sound it out and you'll realize that we're all fluent in cat subconsciously.

[softpaws]

My cat has all those language things but totally speaks sign language as well.

Jumping up on the screen door so it bangs and then hanging there with pleading eyes but no other noise means: Let me in NOW, Hairball.

Sitting next to the dog's food dish and looking at me with poor-me eyes: Feed me, now. Put the food in this dish. Then when the dog comes I will have an excuse to hiss in his face. (He actually does this).

Sitting silently at the door looking very very sad, but only looking at the door not back at me: I need to go out but I want to see if you can read my mind.

Deciding at all hours of the night to do a wild rock and roll dance on my back or sit on my face and touch my husband's face with his foot: I need to be either fed or let outside but I don't really know which I am going to want until you wake up.

Jumping into the bathtub and pawing the water around the drain ring: I'm thirsty. If my husband runs a little water from the tub taps, it gathers around the ring and the cat would rather drink from that than his bowl.

Clawing the upholstry: Why can't you people every buy any decent furniture for me to sleep on? (gee, I wonder)

[crookshanks]

It's just been four months since I got my cat home.
Polo is my first cat & in the beginning all these sounds seemed all the same to me. Now-a-days I have started recognizing differences. Hope this key will be of help to me. Thanks!
