Cat Translation Guide: Decoding Meows, Purrs, & Chirrups
Twenty Thousand Hertz - The stories behind the world's most recognizable and interesting sounds.
Cats can be very vocal creatures, but the exact meaning and intention behind these sounds can often be hard to read. In this episode, cat behaviorist Sarah Brown unpacks the hidden meanings behind cats’ vocalizations, body language and behavior. Then, veterinarian Kendra Baker takes us through her journey with Billi (AKA “Her MADjesty”) the cat who became an online sensation for her use of speaking buttons.
