CBS released a short piece titled, "Happy or Hungry? Deciphering Cat Purrs" today!
Did you know some cats can vocalize their purrs differently when they are hungry? It's supposed to sound like a baby's cry and thus mobilize humans to feed them quicker. Clever!
I'm not sure Rufus knows how to emit the high pitched purr/meow but he always answers out loud when I ask if he's hungry!

I don't know about the different pitches for the purrs, but I do know that my purrs tend to get me what I want.
ReplyDeleteMy mom says how interesting about cat sounds!
ReplyDeleteI make all kinds of sounds. My mom says she will pay closer attention to see if my voice is different when its time to eat!
We didn't know that! Furry interesting!
ReplyDeleteSamson must always be hungry because his meows sound like a baby crying!
ReplyDeleteTasha rarely meows, and I have noticed that her "WANT FOOD" purrs and associated noises are different from her "happy" purrs. (Not to mention her "wake-up" purrs!) The boys just meow when they want food.
ReplyDeleteWE are mot sure about this report. We always make Mom know when we are hungry!
ReplyDeleteI think.. if they hungry they juzt cry.. and if they happy they smile.. :)
