Fact of the day

A new true fact every day, with its source. Come back tomorrow for the next one, or bookmark this page.

Adult cats rarely meow at each other. They mostly meow at people.

Kittens meow to their mothers, but adult cats mainly use hisses, growls, scent and body language with other cats. Meowing seems to have carried on into adulthood largely as a way to talk to humans.
