I think we all know what certain vocalizations mean from our animals in our house hold. Right now I hear one of the girls across the house making her "where is everyone" meow. A few hours ago, I heard her making a similar meow, but it's a bit deeper and more drawn out.
Meow A means "I'm lonely and sad. Someone come hang out with me."
Meow B means "I killed something. Wanna see?"
Meow C means "I killed something, and you might be next". (This is usually done in a carrier en route to the vet.)
Meow D means "I ate that something I killed and now I'm going to barf."
Meow E means "We're hungry. Feed us before we pack up and hunt you."
Meow F means "Hello, slave" (They prefer to call me an "unpaid volunteer" for legal purposes)
Purr A means "I love you"
Purr B means "I like you OK" (This is slower and interrupted for a few seconds, because I'm making too much noise for them to nap)
Purr C means "You're hogging my oxygen" and is usually interrupted for a few seconds every minute or two because I shift and accidentally bump or move them when I'm half asleep.
Purr D means "I love you more than life itself and if anyone would ever try to hurt you, I'd beat the tar out of them."
If humans could purr, I'd be purring a "D"
