They always could talk, but they just didn't feel like it

In fact the miau sound you are used to is produced exclusively in presence of humans, normally they make other sounds

[-] Papanca@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

Yes, there were studies where it was proven that these sounds are actively being reinforced by human interactions; cats learn that this works

can confirm. i basically meow at my cat whenever he looks like he wants something. based on how he reacts i can figure out if he's hungry, needs attention or is just doing his hourly sweep of the house.

The three phrases of kitties:

Let me in!

Let me out!

Give me fresh food, even though my bowl is still pretty full

Also, the bonus phrase:

“Schritches….. enough scritches.”

[-] Papanca@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

They don't need to say that; they will just sit on your papers or laptop, or stand right in front of the tv

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

It’s more of a non verbal thing.

When they want scritches, they’ll let you know

And when they’re done…. They’ll let you know that, too….

If you can, should give them fresh food each time and not leave it out to become stale. Have meal times and meal sizes (or cover it up).

I don't know why you got downvoted, i completely agree with you. They really love fresh food and fresh water (those water fountains), it's just their nature. It's not that they are spoiled. Dogs for instance will also eat from a carcass, but wild felines only eat fresh

The spell accidentally gave the cat a second set of eyes instead of the ability to speak.

Mine won’t shut up, even when we are sleeping.

[-] Kite@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

My cow kitty never shuts up, I don't even need a spell to know what he's saying! He says " food food food food FOOD pet my belly food fooooood"

The cat says: meow!
