Meow what?
A feline's meows, growls, chirrups and chatters all mean something different. If you have a cat, you can interpret what your pets’ meows and other sounds simply by paying attention. Look to see what physical stimulus your cat could be reacting to, and watch your cat’s body language — especially its ears and tail — to determine what emotion or message the animal is trying to convey.

Generally they want to tell you 'feed me', 'stroke me', 'I need a pee' (standing by back door), 'leave me alone' (cats can be temperamental). Unlike dogs, they don't understand 'no', though they kind of play 'fetch' (they chase, but don't return the ball/toy)
