A meow is a meow is a meow...

Cats are supposed to say "meow", but none of our indoor kitties do.
Martha our darling tortie says "meep" (softly). Emily our grey brat
says "yeaow" (loudly), and Sophie our chubby black sweetie says
"waa" (frequently). Only Mooch our resident stray says "meow" (two
times, quietly) when I appear on the veranda to feed him. It's as if
he's thanking me for the grub. How about YOUR furry ruler(s)? What
kind of meow do you get?

When asked if he's hungry, my cat Beachy replies "me-am".

And he only ever makes that noise when asked if he's hungry!!

Swedish cats say Mjau.
Hugo Katt sometimes said mjau, but also a lot of other things. He was very
talkative.
I love holding a conversation with a cat.

the Princess Rita has a wide vocabulary with tons of meaning. She has
a lovely big loud MEOW when she's complaining bitterly about something
in another room. Sometimes she actually howls,sounding almost dog-
like. Usually when she just wakes up, she squeaks like a rubber
ducky. My friends find that very amusing. When my friend Helen calls
and I tell Rita that 'her favorite auntie' is on the phone, she comes
over and meows back and forth with Helen. Well, Helen talks and Rita
meows back, with different intonations. And when she's mad at me,
she stomps around and says 'ack ack ack ack' repeatedly and sounds
very annoyed. I call it 'kitty kussing'.

We get multiple meows, including the Supersonic Silent Meow capable of
attracting dogs from as far away as Denver. Roxie is by far the most
expressive, with polysyllabic trills and meows with tone and
inflection. Philip sounds like a loud cartoon caricature of Edward G.
Robinson, and Stosh has a very soft meow for so big a boy. Stosh has
one he uses only with me, that sounds like "Ma-ma-ma-ma," and he says
it before he hops on me for my nightly massage. Sabrina is a riot; a
tiny cat, seven pounds soaking wet, she lets fly with a booming alto
"MWAAAAR!"
Brandy has a baby squeak and a high whiny mew; the China-Doll has a
breathy sound like a whispered "ha!" and also is the undisputed
mistress of the Silent Meow.

Cendrillon came up with a new one today (although I'm not sure it counts
as a "meow"). When the weather is halfway decent, I leave my front door
open, so the cats can see out the screen. There are tree-tops not too
far from my door, and a railed walkway connecting the apartments on this
level (2nd floor). I assume there were birds on the railing or walkway
to prompt the reaction, but I heard the strangest sort of clicking sound
near the door, and looked up to see that it was Cendri making that
strange sound. (I once had a cat who would sort of bark at flies and
other objects she couldn't reach, but this didn't sound like anything a
feline throat was capable of producing!)

TuTu does a chattering sound when she sees birds outside. MLB
