Hi #MastoCats!

A new day start, and I'm wondering: how do you meow in your language?

In french, we usually do "Miaou"
And you?

Ha, according to Ella:
🇧🇦 Mijau
🇺🇸 Meow
🇩🇪 Miau #mastocats
@maou in german it is "miau" or if it is more like that demanding/complaining sound: "maunz" :D
@maou In English, “meow” and “mew” are both popular. In Japanese, “nya”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meow
Meow - Wikipedia

@mithriltabby ooh there's a wikipedia page for that??  
Thanks to let me know it  

Cat's rules!! 

@maou meow (English)
@domesticploddess @maou mine meows in the screams of the damned at 4am
@Crapricorn666 @maou We've got one very meowy cat and one not so very meowy cat.
@Crapricorn666 @domesticploddess There wasn't any kibbles anymore to eat maybe? 
@maou I thought American cats were supposed to meow, but our cat meeeps with great enthusiasm.
@Heather meeeps!? 
@maou Maybe it is a regional dialect. I never thought to ask her.
@Heather @maou I can't meow properly. Sometimes I do silent screaming, but when vocalised it's more of a meep or meh.
@Heather @maou oh and I believe Ukrainian cats go Няв (Nyav) or maybe Мяу (Myau) if they are Russian speaking. The woman is learning Ukrainian and Russian.
@Colin @Heather my human have an Ukrainian friend, he should ask her!

@Colin @Heather ooH  

Hope it didn't hurt?
Hugs to you 

@maou I don't think I ever learned to meow properly. I can growl like a dog, purr, hiss and make Bill and Ben noises, so together with silent screaming, meeps and mehs, I make myself understood just fine.

@maou if you are not in the UK, Bill and Ben are flowerpot men.

I walks round the house talking to himself like the man with the low voice. The people sometimes reply in the same fashion or shout "weeeed" at me. 🌿

@[email protected] The Italian "meow" is "miao". Usually at 5 in the morning when poor human is still sleeping. :ablobcatattention:
@maou It depends on how we’re feeling. mAAAAAAAAAw when the nibs are empty. Trrrrrrrew when we’re happy to see you. Silence, mostly.

@maou Finnish: "miau" or "mau" are usual versions of it.
