Cats evolved the Meow specifically to communicate with humans, as adult cats rarely use it with each other. In this episode, we decode the 7 primary vocalizations, explaining the biological function of the Purr (which vibrates at 25-150Hz to promote bone density) and the Chatter (a jaw reflex).
 
We cover:

• The Healing Purr: How the frequency of a purr aids in tissue regeneration.
• The Trill: The "Hello" sound mothers use with kittens (and you).
• The "Kill Bite": Why cats chatter at birds through the window.
• The Yowl: When vocalization signals cognitive dysfunction or pain in senior cats.
