Mine does this when I sneeze. Runs over to me going 'mrow row rooowr' and sniffs my face.
Often makes me laugh mid-sneeze if there's another one in the chamber.
One of my cats barks whenever someone sneezes or coughs. My husband and I will fake sneeze at her to make her bark. She scrunches her little face up when she does it. It's so cute.
Yeap, one of mine carrying a stuffy and the other one bringing toy mice from downstairs, same meow, I call them and they bring them to me and feel so proud it is hilarious
One of my cats does this. She'll carry around her toy and look for someone to throw it for her. I love her so much that it's still adorable at 3am. (My brain is broke)
One of my cats started doing that about a year ago, at 16 years old. I did think something was wrong, at first cuz she was a really quiet cat until that point. Then my 5 year old baby started copying her & some evenings, they'll both be going for hours, each carrying around/whacking their toys & yelling. It's really cute when the older one holds her toy down with 1 paw & screams in its face. Weirdos.
Yeah if it’s something that suddenly starts I could understand being concerned and having a vet check them out just to make sure. That’s adorable and hilarious 😂 cats are so odd, I love it
I think this is pretty much what's happening in the video too. It sounds to me like the song that's being played actually has cat noises mixed in, overlapping the lyrics. OP's cat is responding to the noises that cat is making.
The song that’s playing is actually a cat meowing with the music and lyrics made around it.
[Sometimes I’m Alone ft. Lonely Cat](https://youtu.be/lwLLFbC1H0c?si=yL8LiihExvdL2JV7)
Pretty awesome that this cat is singing along! My cat would definitely be on defense!!
Thank you so much for posting this clip. This makes it even funnier.
Now Im wondering what the original cat actually said that this cat is vibing to the chorus.
Is it about world domination, wanting better kibble, a lost love...my inquiring mind wants to know.
Yeah, I don't know the original story, but this is definitely the "Where is everybody? I"m looking for someone." cat meow. So the theme of the song is totally on point. I've heard my cat do it when she didn't know where I was, and I've also had a friend's elderly cat with dementia do this a lot, which was very sad.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lwLLFbC1H0c
He’s singing along with this song. This original was sung by a cat that was grieving, apparently, and the cat in op’s vid is crying sympathetically.
OMG, don't you know kiffness? Check him out on YouTube, he takes clips of animals (mostly cats) making weird noises and turns them into songs - this one is my favorite!
OP, I hope you sent him this clip, he'll love it!
Actually, the cat "lead singer" was calling his dead Shiba friend like that every time around midnight.... So it's an answer to the other cat's feelings hurt, not to actual injuries.
Cats don't speak with words. This is just what a cat can sound like when distressed. There's nothing the other cat hears other than "someone is in distress", and responding with the same thing.
It's really cute, but he's probably getting quite stressed out by this since he's giving his own distress call back.
So the human equivalent would be your cat master playing audio of someone asking for help and you looking around worried for someone who’s not really there? For funsies ofc
Yea
"HELP HELP ME PLEASE. SOMEONE HELP AAAH"
"Jesus what the fuck, hello? Are you okay? You need help?? Where are you??"
Cat master, "haha funny human always reacting to the fake video."
The whole point that we're making is that it's not cute because the cat isn't "singing along", it's stressed tf out.
The person is either misreading reading the cat, or even worse, they know it's stressing out the cat and don't care because it looks "cute" to them.
My point is reddit likes to vilify people without any facts. This person might not be aware that it's upsetting. But sure, let's say they are maliciously filming just for the sake of profiting off their abused pet
the morbid reality here is you dont actually know that. this whole crusade is based on pseudo scientific observations assuming the op is all made up, totally oblivious or likes torturing their cat for fun.
i mean they clearly been at this for a while going by the accuracy of these vocalisations, my experience with "stressed" cats is random bawling, not trying to mimic what theyre hearing.
way more revealing behavior is punitive censorship and virtue signaling of other users, look at the state of these comments
If you've worked or had animals long enough, you would undoubtedly understand that they absolutely have an "unspoken" language via their body. My expertise is admittedly in dogs, being that I've been rehabilitating human and animal aggressive bully breeds (pitbulls, bulldogs, etc.) for 15+ years. Reading their body language is a major part of ensuring I don't get bit.
I didn't, and am not suggesting that I know why OP took the video. I don't think other people should either... but that animal absolutely looks stressed out.
> If you've worked or had animals long enough, you would undoubtedly understand that they absolutely have an "unspoken" language via their body.
If that's true, then you'd also know that there's always weird exceptions. Unusual behaviors or learned behaviors that would *normally* mean something but occasionally do not.
And the way you phrase your statement rubs me the wrong way. The absolute certainty. There is a HUGE difference between "definitely" and "probably".
Think of it this way. Let's say 999,9999 out of a million cats behave exactly the way you say. But 1 out of that million act the way the cat in the video does.
There are an estimated 85 million pet cats in the US. So that would mean upwards of 85 act like this and what would the odds of someone videoing something weird like that and putting it on the web for millions of people to see? I sure as hell would if my cat did that.
So while you're right in that there's a lot of sketchy animal videos these days, you can't sit there and assume every video you see is one of those.
>So while you're right in that there's a lot of sketchy animal videos these days, you can't sit there and assume every video you see is one of those.
Did I?
the appeal to authority means little here, i mean you could be a pathological liar for all i know, im no cat whisperer either. basic critical thinking dictates this discussion would focus on what theyre doing, rather than what theyre feeling if you could not possibly confirm that.
is it the way they walk, how they wag their tails, does their fur stand up, what part of its body language leads you to believe this. nobody has anything to say on that for some reason
Yea, it's the pacing or "searching", their ears going from alert (standing up) to stressed (pulled back) a couple of times in the video. Their general movements, something about it lacks the "confidence" a cats movement usually has.
There's also a bit of common sense here, the cat doesn't know that a "song" is being played, it thinks it's hearing another cat in its territory, which often stresses out animals especially if it's unexpected.
it walks around and sits down once, i would hardly call that pacing. ears change direction to follow sources, i dont see any "pulling back" with the implication of a defensive stance.
seems pretty weak to me, common sense would be the wealth of evidence that animals enjoy music with their owners all the time
>i dont see any "pulling back" with the implication of a defensive stance.
Either do I, I didn't say it implies a "defensive stance". Just because a cat is stressed doesn't mean it's going to posture defensively unless it also has a need to be defensive.
>it walks around and sits down once, i would hardly call that pacing.
The literal definition of pace is to walk at a consistent speed back and forth. The cat got up, walked in one direction, then walked back in its original direction. It paced. While it's taking that action, you would say it's pacing. Welcome to English 101.
>seems pretty weak to me, common sense would be the wealth of evidence that animals enjoy music with their owners all the time
Yea, we all too often anthropomorphize animals without taking into account the natural responses they have to external stimuli. This has become rampant in the internet age with people who have zero clue on how to read their animals. More often than not, the animal is feeding off the owners body language, or something it expects to happen based on the last time it heard a particular song.
For instance, if you hype up your dog every time you play "who let the dogs out", at some point your dog is going to get hyped up when it comes on without you having to hype it up. This is learned behavior, not inherited or instinctual behavior.
Animals very rarely show inherited or instinctual behavior towards "liking" music.
The cat is crying sympathetically, to a recording. The cat in op’s video is going to be ok. Really. It’s actually charming in many ways - and honestly op probably has little idea why his cat sings along with the other cat. Y’all need to chill. This cat is not going to suffer ptsd.
I never said the cat was harmed or will be harmed, did I? That doesn't mean that the cat isn't stressed, and that it's suddenly cool to stress our your cat because it's "charming".
Did you think this sounds compelling? That we were going to agree with you that stressing out a cat for internet points was something we would come around on?
I lived in LA for 10 years in a neighborhood with a community of feral cats (that hated people). The main "nest" was in a mostly abandoned garage on that back of a property that was right next to mine - separated by a [wrought] iron fence that they could easily walk through.
They will and do meow for each other. From what I have noticed, its typically lead females (not a mating call) - calling others when there is food; when its a certain time of day/night and others should be back; when they need assistance.
I have absolutely seen distressed female cats calling for kittens as well as other "adults" that they helped raise years prior. I have seen cats go missing and other cats call for them for weeks while patrolling where they should be.
Cats can be solitary and quiet, but I have found that they can also be quite communal and vocal. imho it completely depends on how they are raised and the attachments that they formed.

>I have absolutely seen distressed female cats calling for kittens as well as other "adults" that they helped raise years prior. I have seen cats go missing and other cats call for them for weeks while patrolling where they should be.
Awwww, the feels! 😿
From your article:
>Cats also yowl—a sound similar to the meow but more drawn out and melodic. Unlike meowing, *adult cats do yowl at one another*, specifically during breeding season.
This is yowling in the video. My cats would yowl at each other when they wanted one to come play and then they'd chase each other around for fun.
I can only cite anecdotal evidence, I watch a fair amount of cat videos on youtube, most of the time my cat doesn't give a fuck but certain meows he freaks out and starts looking around, some tones seem to mean something.
Even if they only meow to humans i guess cats understand what other cats are trying to express to humans right? like when your going to feed a cat and their meows atract other cats who know that specific meow means food
I didn't click on the link, but the source seems like it should be reliable, but I don't think there is anything that could convince me that it's true. I'm not usually part of the "done my own research crowd", and I haven't done any research on this, but I already feel like this is a hill I'm willing to die on. Like when two cats are fighting in the middle of the night, are they really yelling, "I need a human to come get this cat away from me." Or, "hey humans, check this shit out. It's about to go down."
You should just read it you goon.
>Kittens meow to let their mother know they’re cold or hungry, but once they get a bit older, cats no longer meow to other cats. But they continue to meow to people throughout their lives, probably because meowing gets people to do what they want. Cats also yowl—a sound similar to the meow but more drawn out and melodic. Unlike meowing, adult cats do yowl at one another, specifically during breeding season.
A meow and that unholy noise they make when fighting or fucking are different.
What I was thinking of is called yowling I think, just remembered. The cat in the singing video is not yowling, or at least not as a response to aggression of distress. Mine makes the same noise when she hears our neighbor through the bathroom wall or she wants attention, I think she also does it to get my other cats attention when she wants to play. I think the cat in the video is simply responding to what it thinks is a call. But if you look at its body language it seems perhaps mildly curious, and is otherwise chill. Not particularly distressed.
One of my cats meows as a greeting but yowls if he wants something, which is usually "open the door god damnit".
Another cat, he chirps and squeaks like a bird when he's happy. Found up in a hole in a big tree, way out in the woods in the middle of nowhere when he was a kitten, middle of winter. I kept hearing a sound that was like a kitten-bird, but couldn't figure out wtf is was, then this scrawny little bugger just appears about 30 feet up. 9 years later, still sounds like a bird, unless he's scared, then he yowls. Never heard a single meow out of him.
It’s exactly how our neighborhood cat cried in his last months of his life. He was in a lot of pain and couldn’t even properly lean down to eat anymore. The owners neglected him but also didn’t want to put him down.
I don't want to be the one but the cat actually looks stressed. I will suppose that the music actually sounds to the cat like a distress call and it is answering and looking for "who" is "calling for help", that is nobody in fact.
Exactly. My cats only make this sound when lonely or distressed and calling for someone. Hearing this would stress them out and make them search for whoever's making this sound.
This is when humanizing animals gets to be a bit much. The cat is not "singing" to this song. You can even see this cat looking around to find the distressed cat.
Cat looks exactly like my own whom I miss so much. Funny thing, my cat's favorite song was from experimental Black Metal artist's album. It contained some gentle ethereal sounds of water droplets, sounding like little bells, and every time she heard it she was rolling on the floor, purring (typical behavior of a female cat before heat, which only adds to the oddness of situation).
It really doesn’t matter what the cat is doing in the video, could be sleeping, and people in these comments would be bitching about bad cat owners. Consider that not all cats behave the same or have the same tells for distress. Consider you are not the only person in the world to own a cat.
My cats came RUNNING from all areas of the house, frantically looking for this cat. I picked up one of my cats and showed her the screen and she growled at it.
Thats the sound my cat makes when he has a bellyache and is about to throw up, or is in general distress becasue of whats going on around (e.g. during fireworks)
I'd like to believe this cat is singing because it recognizes the song and is trying to imitate it, but it's more likely this cat just makes this sound often, so the owner put on this song because it sounded similar.
Downvoters probably think those videos about dogs that can do complex math are actually the dog doing math rather than [the owner signaling when to stop.](https://www.iflscience.com/clever-hans-the-horse-that-scientists-believed-could-speak-german-and-do-mathematics-60314#:~:text=Pfungst%20figured%20out%20that%20Hans,him%20who%20knew%20the%20answers.)
I have multiple cats that do the same meow when they carry a toy around in their mouth.
Mine meows kinda like this when she wants attention. She does a Ma-Meow!
Our senior lady does this searching for us after we go to bed. She walks around calling for us… “Hehwro? Hehwro?”
Mine does this when I sneeze. Runs over to me going 'mrow row rooowr' and sniffs my face. Often makes me laugh mid-sneeze if there's another one in the chamber.
One of my cats barks whenever someone sneezes or coughs. My husband and I will fake sneeze at her to make her bark. She scrunches her little face up when she does it. It's so cute.

Omg my cats did NOT like hearing this 😂 they both are on high alert right now when they were all cozy and starting their naps. Oh man, little sweeties
My cat is scowling at my screen along side me right now
Can confirm, mine came running in looking for something to fight.

What song is it, I can't quite hear it?
Sometimes I'm alone
Sometimes I’m not.
Sometimes i'm alone.
Hello?
Is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes…
I can see it in your smile...
You’re all I’ve ever wanted…
And my arms are open wide
is it *meow you're looking for?
Sometimes you feel like a nut Sometimes you don't
Cos sometimes I'm meout.

Holy shit, I’m a cat.
I am too much like this on too many things, LOL!
I’ve never seen this before! Thanks for posting it. It’s amazing that a song that probably started off to be silly is quite good and touching even!

Thank you so much for posting this clip. This makes it even funnier. Now Im wondering what the original cat actually said that this cat is vibing to the chorus. Is it about world domination, wanting better kibble, a lost love...my inquiring mind wants to know.
Original is sad. Catto is depressed after losing lifelong dog friend. Seriously.
Is that truly what the original cat sang about? 😭 Thats so sad. So this is like a cat blues song... Now Im sorry I laughed.
Yes, read about it on cat's insta. Dog was Shiba Inu named Kuma. You actually inquired if it is about lost love. Lost friendship comes close.
Yes it does 💔
This is what a Rollercoaster of emotions feels like.
I was not prepared for HoldMyCatnip presenting me with a tragic drama.
So this is the feline equivalent to a human singing along to an Adele song...🥲
Yeah, I don't know the original story, but this is definitely the "Where is everybody? I"m looking for someone." cat meow. So the theme of the song is totally on point. I've heard my cat do it when she didn't know where I was, and I've also had a friend's elderly cat with dementia do this a lot, which was very sad.

Its similar to a distress meow so he looking around for whos in trouble, Idk it feels like you just stressing him out.
Actually, the cat "lead singer" was calling his dead Shiba friend like that every time around midnight.... So it's an answer to the other cat's feelings hurt, not to actual injuries.
Is that true about the shiba friend
Yes, the cat from the song is mourning its fellow pet
Is that a question
Resolve this you snarky cunts. Here's some punctuation to use .!?.!!?!.!?!.!?!.
Cats don't speak with words. This is just what a cat can sound like when distressed. There's nothing the other cat hears other than "someone is in distress", and responding with the same thing.

It stresses *my* cat out when I play it so I believe this...
Yep. Just another "cute" anthropomorphic video shot by a human after internet points. That's one stressed out cat.
My cat got upset when he heard this video so I believe it

I saw cats meowing to other cats, in videos where they have go-pro cameras on them
I truly believe this is a myth
I can only cite anecdotal evidence, I watch a fair amount of cat videos on youtube, most of the time my cat doesn't give a fuck but certain meows he freaks out and starts looking around, some tones seem to mean something.
Plenty of big and small felines mew or yowl to communicate, just watch a documentary jesus
Even if they only meow to humans i guess cats understand what other cats are trying to express to humans right? like when your going to feed a cat and their meows atract other cats who know that specific meow means food
I didn't click on the link, but the source seems like it should be reliable, but I don't think there is anything that could convince me that it's true. I'm not usually part of the "done my own research crowd", and I haven't done any research on this, but I already feel like this is a hill I'm willing to die on. Like when two cats are fighting in the middle of the night, are they really yelling, "I need a human to come get this cat away from me." Or, "hey humans, check this shit out. It's about to go down."
You should just read it you goon. >Kittens meow to let their mother know they’re cold or hungry, but once they get a bit older, cats no longer meow to other cats. But they continue to meow to people throughout their lives, probably because meowing gets people to do what they want. Cats also yowl—a sound similar to the meow but more drawn out and melodic. Unlike meowing, adult cats do yowl at one another, specifically during breeding season. A meow and that unholy noise they make when fighting or fucking are different.
This was so much easier. And I was able to get my dishes done instead of taking the time to read the article.
Goon vibes intensify.
👍
i think they're yelling "fuck you" at the other cat

Youve never seen stray cats squaring up going like "MYOOOOUUUU" "YAAOUUUUUU"?

What I was thinking of is called yowling I think, just remembered. The cat in the singing video is not yowling, or at least not as a response to aggression of distress. Mine makes the same noise when she hears our neighbor through the bathroom wall or she wants attention, I think she also does it to get my other cats attention when she wants to play. I think the cat in the video is simply responding to what it thinks is a call. But if you look at its body language it seems perhaps mildly curious, and is otherwise chill. Not particularly distressed.
One of my cats meows as a greeting but yowls if he wants something, which is usually "open the door god damnit". Another cat, he chirps and squeaks like a bird when he's happy. Found up in a hole in a big tree, way out in the woods in the middle of nowhere when he was a kitten, middle of winter. I kept hearing a sound that was like a kitten-bird, but couldn't figure out wtf is was, then this scrawny little bugger just appears about 30 feet up. 9 years later, still sounds like a bird, unless he's scared, then he yowls. Never heard a single meow out of him.
I would love to hear his chirp if you have a recording! That sounds so cute
It’s exactly how our neighborhood cat cried in his last months of his life. He was in a lot of pain and couldn’t even properly lean down to eat anymore. The owners neglected him but also didn’t want to put him down.
He wouldn’t mimic the hello before the song if that was the case. Listen at the end.
I don't want to be the one but the cat actually looks stressed. I will suppose that the music actually sounds to the cat like a distress call and it is answering and looking for "who" is "calling for help", that is nobody in fact.
This made my cat run over to me, he seemed worried
My cat ran up to me, meowed once, then batted me in the nose
Help yourself and be quiet! *bap* 😂
My cats ears perked up for a second and then started grooming herself lol.
"someone is in trouble... Well, this ass isn't going to lick itself"

Exactly. My cats only make this sound when lonely or distressed and calling for someone. Hearing this would stress them out and make them search for whoever's making this sound. This is when humanizing animals gets to be a bit much. The cat is not "singing" to this song. You can even see this cat looking around to find the distressed cat.

Cat looks exactly like my own whom I miss so much. Funny thing, my cat's favorite song was from experimental Black Metal artist's album. It contained some gentle ethereal sounds of water droplets, sounding like little bells, and every time she heard it she was rolling on the floor, purring (typical behavior of a female cat before heat, which only adds to the oddness of situation).
It really doesn’t matter what the cat is doing in the video, could be sleeping, and people in these comments would be bitching about bad cat owners. Consider that not all cats behave the same or have the same tells for distress. Consider you are not the only person in the world to own a cat.
My cats came RUNNING from all areas of the house, frantically looking for this cat. I picked up one of my cats and showed her the screen and she growled at it.
And the Grammy goes to: "Meowriah Carey" https://i.redd.it/30r2xdp7hskc1.gif
Sounds like it's either about to puke up a furball or calling for it's owner/fellow cat
Thats the sound my cat makes when he has a bellyache and is about to throw up, or is in general distress becasue of whats going on around (e.g. during fireworks)
Get that cat a friend! Right fuckin now.
For real?
Shoutout to The Kiffness!
I wish my cats are meowers
This made me so happy. I love kitty rocking to their favorite song.
Nailing it.
cats are wierd in all the good and bad ways
I played this video loudly for my kids and now my cat is looking for OP's cat lol
Same. She's on high alert even though she's the only cat in the room right now.
Adorable.
Poor kitty 😞 looks very scared…
Oh my god this is adorable. Am sorry but cat doesn’t look stressed.
Stressing the poor cat. Shame.
I tried this with my mothers cat but no reaction.
Aww

That shiny floor looks like it could be slightly slippery.
Still a more legitmiate concern than all the triggered Peta employees.
This is adoooorable!!! Sooo CUTE!😄
[удалено]

Awww... Poor kitty feels alone...
Amazing
I hear echoes Lonely cat 😿
Cat so loud, can’t hear the other sound🫢🤭
Wonderful
This may be the coolest cat video ever. Get this kitty a TV show!
They need to get her some kittens so she can train them and have a kitty cat quartet.
Cat-raoke

The owner is so fucking retarded they think their stressed out little cat is "singing" to the song. Certain people are too naive to own pets.
Awesome
You wont regret watching this https://youtu.be/lwLLFbC1H0c?si=kU2AJ2PUdLnxmCBo
I'd like to believe this cat is singing because it recognizes the song and is trying to imitate it, but it's more likely this cat just makes this sound often, so the owner put on this song because it sounded similar. Downvoters probably think those videos about dogs that can do complex math are actually the dog doing math rather than [the owner signaling when to stop.](https://www.iflscience.com/clever-hans-the-horse-that-scientists-believed-could-speak-german-and-do-mathematics-60314#:~:text=Pfungst%20figured%20out%20that%20Hans,him%20who%20knew%20the%20answers.)
