Why Do Cats Do Their "Meow-Yelling" Thing - Tumblr Explains
Cats have a talent for making the simplest moment feel like a mystery, and their loud, dramatic meows are no exception. One minute they are quiet, the next they are acting like the world has ended, and nobody in the house knows why.
In this Tumblr discussion, people try to make sense of that strange, high-volume cat behavior, from needy yowls to the kind of yelling that seems to come out of nowhere. The posts lean into the idea that cats are not always asking for something specific, they may just be expressing a feeling humans recognize all too well.
And if your cat has ever screamed from another room for no obvious reason, this thread will feel very familiar.
1. Maybe the problem is that cats feel anxiety because they want something, but they don't know what.
How many times has this occurred in your home? No matter how many times our cats fool us, we keep dropping everything and going toward them to see if everything is alright.
You'd think we'd get used to it soon.
2. People also feel that way sometimes.
To be perfectly honest, we can partially understand this approach. We occasionally experience the temptation to put an end to everything we're doing and jump into the abyss.
Cats don't appear to have the same type of filter that we do. We kind of like the way they are living their lives and being honest about their suffering.
3. I yearn! Can you hear me?
That is basically the whole mood here.
4. Sometimes they just want in
5. This is wrong - humans will fix...
The cat logic gets more intense from here.
It’s hard not to think of the teenager calling out her entitled aunt for taking her cat hostage.
6. This could be it. We also feel that way from time to time...
7. You took it too far, human...
8. Yes, cats are fighters against injustice. And they see it everywhere, especially when it concerns them...
Some of these reactions are a little too relatable.
9. What do you need?
10. We want to yell "I Yearn!" too
At this point, the yelling has a theme.
11. They expect perfection, and nothing less...
You might require an interpreter if your cat starts to caterwaul, a high-pitched, prolonged howl-yowl. We must understand this cat language since most caterwauling is directed at people.
Cats start caterwauling to express a variety of needs and emotions. The best way to decipher the message is to spend time with your cat.
We have to be honest and say that even this doesn't work sometimes. The cat psyche is a complicated territory, and cats sometimes just don't let us in.
But it is worth a shot. If nothing else, you get to spend time with your pal.
