Cats make a variety of sounds when expressing different emotions or needs. But what people are most familiar with is their "meow" sound. This sound is often used to attract the attention of humans and indicate their needs, such as food, play, or companionship.

It is worth noting that kittens learn to make this sound to communicate with their mother cats soon after birth. Adult cats also use this sound when facing humans, because humans usually respond positively to this sound.
