alt=A cat meowing.|right|thumb|A cat meowing
A meow or miaow is a cat vocalization. Meows may have a large range of sounds. Adult cats rarely meow to each other. An adult cat meowing at a human is generally considered a post-domestication extension of meowing by kittens: a call for attention.
purr
A purr or whirr is a tonal fluttering sound made by some species of felids, including both larger, wild cats and the domestic cat (Felis catus), as well as two species of genets and the Caquetá titi monkey (Plecturocebus caquetensis). It varies in loudness and tone among species and in the same animal. Although true purring is exclusive to felids and viverrids, other animals such as raccoons produce vocalizations that sound similar to true purring. Animals that produce purr-like sounds include mongooses, kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, badgers, rabbits and guinea pigs.
