Why Do Cats Meow?
1. Ageing
The average house cat can expect to live for around 13 to 17 years, while it is not uncommon for them to live beyond 20. While cats are very different to us in appearance, their internal organs still work in much the same ways that ours do. This leaves them open to developing the same problems as we do, including ageing. Just like people, cats will begin to slow down as their bodies start to feel the effect of aging. They won’t be as active as they used to be, while their minds will also begin to falter. Ageing cats can experience cognitive decline as people do, and it is thought that this is why cats tend to get more vocal with age.
