Do you use the word meowing or mewing?

I hope I am placing this in the right place!

I was wondering how many of you out there say the word meowing and how many people saying mewing.

I have a friend who say mewing and I say meowing.

What do you say?

I say both, so I won't vote.

as Orion and Nacho meow, and Gordito and Poptart mew.. so it depends on who I am takling to or about.

Is there a difference between the two words?

"Mewing" sounds plaintive to me. Sometimes Sophie will mew, mostly she meows.

You say mewing, I say meowing...Let's call the whole thing off!
I say meowing, by the way...

meowing.

One of our cats does neither. She squeeks (extremely high pitch, too - kinda freaky) instead. So that's the word we use for her.

Just the same, I prefer "meow." Mew sounds too close to what I have to do to the lawn every week.

I'd never really heard of the term mewing, I've always said meowing.

Meowing

Depends entirely on the cat and the circumstance.

On the whole, regular "speech" tends to be "meow" or as variation on that theme. "Mew" pertains more to kittens, and babyish behaviour. And then there's Fawn, whose speech is a breathy squeak most of the time -- not something I've ever heard from any other cat.

Can't vote.

For me, kittens mew (especially when they're tiny) and cats meow.

English isn't my first language. That said, I use meow. In Finnish it's miau or nau.

Emmett doesn't really meow or mew, he's more of a chirpper or a whiner.

I didn't vote, because I use both. Molly used to meow. Actually it was more of an Ack. Think of a really old woman with a 6 pack a day smoking habit. That is what Molly sounded like. Abby mews. She doesn't do it often, but when she does, it's a sweet little sound, except when she is doing it at 3:30 in the morning and she keeps getting more desperate for food and companionship. It then turns into a whiny little mew.

teufel says Merowww

I say meow

Meow

I can't choose between the two. Most of the time it is meow. But Carly has a language all of her own and oftens mews, chirps, howls, and has a special meow that sounds like a parrot say "herrow". She always has a lot to say.

I use meowing.

I say the kittens mew and cats meow.
