I know very few cats that actually say 'meow', so....

Poodle says: "mirrp?"

Flibbo says: "moouw."

Annabelle says: "merwooow!"

Ha nice thread!


Cairo, the crankiest kitty in the world (lol) goes `Aaaaoooowwwwwww', and if you don't jump to her whim straight away then it's the same, but shorter and sharper - `AHH!!'. (Put LOTS of force into that one..hehe).

Sunday chirps, so she says `Brrrrrrrrt?' and when she does meow it is so tiny and high-pitched its a little `Mew, mew'

Sashka varies, but mostly she isn't talkative at all. When she does say anything it's quite a low pitch `mrrrrrrrwwwwww' - don't seem to be any vowels in her vocabulary!!

Spaz - Mee?

Shadow - a very whiney Meow, always sounds like he's complaining.

Vash -a pretty typical meow, often followed up with a "Brrrttt?"

Trouble -Sing-song melodic meows in a very complimentary musical voice.

Cassi -Squeaks, trills, mews, sings, chirps and thrums, all in a very, very tiny voice. She's earned herself the name Cassi Mew or Miss Mew.

Ivory - Because of her sinus issues has a very odd, barking sort of Mrewrph sound. She also does a very deep, throaty Brrrtttt when she has her mylar crinkly ball.

Our friend Mary has a Burmese called Bernie. Bernie is a scream. She is SO cranky. Her meow is a grumpy `ARK'. She sounds like a crow!

Under a stack of blueberry waffles.
My cat has a specific meow for almost everything.

dinnertime: "wrehhh wrehhh" (while tail-twitching and running in circles)

bored, or greeting at door "meh-wrer?"

being pet or picked up when she doesn't want to be (protesting, but not fighting it): "mreww" (in a tiny, soft voice that trails off.
)

jumping or other exertion: "brrt"

being bathed (she hates it, but loves the way she feels afterwards. gets extra-lovey after she realizes that her fur will dry): "wrooooooow"

Oliver says "Mraaa!" or sometimes "Mrrp" with his mouth closed
Emma says "meee" or "mreah", but very very quietly and very infrequently

Oliver also makes a "landing noise" when he lands from a big jump, sort of like a "brrrp" or "brrrrt"

hmmm...have a hard time figuring how to write it but i wrote it and sounds pretty accurate..

Hobbs: when he is about to be fed, he says "ma". I swear it cracks me up. It is a short purr meow, and people dont believe it til they actually hear it.

Other regular meows, he says "mew" like a kitten in this high kitteny voice...which is why I sometimes playfully then call him "sissy boy"...as in "whachu want sissy boy?" which makes him do it more


Blueberry has a short complaining ...mwah!..mwah!....but when she wants food or water...."mowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..."...its longggggg, like sometimes 3-4 seconds!!!

The cats house, we just pay the mortgage..
Sleeves has a very gentle Miaow like, 'Rrrrrooooooaaaaaw...'
Nismo is more like a screetch, like someone has her hanging by her neck or something 'kkkrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaCCCCCCCCHHHHHHGGGGGG' it frightens me sometimes. She's just a baby though and doesn't have a proper miaow yet.
