Urban myth. How often are we gonna keep reposting this bullshit.
Well it's based on a fact, iirc the real thing is domesticated cats learn to keep their kitten mew because humans respond to it, nothing to do with imitating human babies. But that does mean that only cats raised by people meow.
But it also means that it is a complete lie that "cat's don't meow to each other".
never heard a tiger meow, so you might be onto something
Feral cats definitely meow
Fair, tigers dont make sound i'd classify as a meow. But other big cat species do :

I always believed , though im not a biologist, that they kept doing it because they got something nice as a reward. Pets, food, water, door that is being opened,... The meowing is linked to getting something good so they keep doing it.
It's not, wild adult cats still meow
