I can do most of those myself. Some cats love me, some hate me.

It would probably help if I learned the language.

Only four cats were injured in the making of those files.

miaow #3 sounds like a crusty ol' bitch of a cat

I've read the the "miaow" sound is a sound cats don't make in the wild, but is something they evolved to communicate with us humans. I wonder if it reflects how our speech sounds to them. At any rate, supposedly they don't ever meow to each other.

At least one of the various "meows" probably means "Okay, I'll say it again e-v-e-n s-l-o-w-e-r".

Wow, my cats freaked out when they heard the fighting sounds. Brought one of them in from two rooms away.

Heh, I just had a cat meowing at my door. We have a lot of outdoor cats in this complex.

This actually got both of my cats to run into the room and wonder what the hell is going on.

My cats absolutely flipped out and started attacking the speakers when I played these sounds. Awesome!

I've heard cats meow at each other. But then again, maybe they were only doing it for my observational benefit.

This is the lesser known Schrodinger's Cat theorem.

I feel guilty now. My cat was sleeping peacefully in my office, when I played angry cat 01. He bolted up, looked around in a panic, and ran from the office to figure out where the interloper was.
