Conversations between cats

Cats are mostly associated with being 'pets' for people but are mostly outside exploring, they talk most commonly with the phrase 'meow' but thats only how people can hear it, to other cats its language. From my observation a low pitch 'meow' often means its unhappy or in confrontation with another cat warning it off, but a high pitch 'meow' is when its in pain or had a shock. I own 2 cats and some are different from others. When a cat purs it says it is comfortable and likes its surroundings, this usually happens when the cat is being stroaked.
Cats also communicate with eachother is through body expressions, the way they act and their postures mainly say 1 of 2 things, come closer or go away.
The main communication between cats are the scents, i have 2 cats so i frequently see them rubbing their cheeks together or licking eachother's head meaning they are comfortable with eachother.


This video is a perfect example of what im looking into, how they communicate with eachother is through their own language but also through body language aswell. Just by watching you can almost guess the words in their conversation.

i added this video to show that cats can say alot more than 'meow'. Cats dont only talk to other cats they try and communicate with people aswell and thats what makes them exciting and unpredictable.
