The pet-wellness experts at Rover say that cats usually meow to communicate with people, but vocalizations can also be a form of communication with each other.
The website says that some cats will meow or trill in greeting, and many will growl or hiss as a way to tell other felines to back off. However, this can escalate to even more defensive talk, such as angry snarls, yowls, spits, and even distressed howls.
"One of the most well-known and complicated forms of vocal cat communication, however, is the purr. Cats often purr when they are happy, but they also purr when they aren't feeling well. And they'll often purr when in contact with humans or other cats, or when rubbing on objects too," the Rover website adds.

The video quickly went viral on social media, getting viewers from across Reddit. It has so far received almost 40,000 upvotes and 333 comments on the platform.
One user, dragonchilde, commented: "I just sat and listened to this for 10 minutes. These guys need their own ASMR [autonomous sensory meridian response] channel!"
Casmas_ posted: "Makes me wonder what they are saying in their kitty language."
Frammmis wrote: "She fell asleep on him....now he's got to figure out how to get his arm out without waking her."
Another user, Ok-Net-6264, commented: "Love that the creamsicle has eyes shut, so only talking to his/her cuddle buddy."
And LeditGabil added: "Very realistic... One is trying to have a chat and the other one is hardly listening and trying to fall asleep... That's textbook what happens every evening in every long-lasting couples' bedroom."
