h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Great entry. I've found that my cats will often make the 'ow' part of meow without the 'me'. *wishes she had a microphone on the computer* I can do a really good meow, just like the cats ... Sends 'em nuts. I think, though, they also make a short 'ow' as a kinda conversation starter. They say it, I say it, and the 'ow's keep getting longer until we're howling at each other ...
Erm. Don't worry too much about me. I'm just a looney.

I think they do really like to communicate with us - especially if there is a good bond.
My tomcat's favorite sounds are "meh" . He barely knows how to meoww - we thought he was a mute for the first two years we had him.
I say "meh" back to him, but he's not very interested.
