Humans talk, whereas cats meow. Somewhere along the way, things are bound to be lost in translation, right? Communicating with your kitty is a great way to develop a stronger bond with your little one. But it goes beyond that. Understanding what your kitty is trying to tell you gives you an insight into their overall well-being and how you can help them live their best life.
Cats Meow: Different Meanings
Cats communicate in various ways, including body language, scent marking, and vocalizations. One of the most common sounds cats use to communicate with their human parents is meowing. Cats meow in response to several triggers! This well-known sound can mean a lot of things, from a request for attention or food to a sign of frustration, anxiety, or discomfort.
Understanding what your kitty is trying to tell you gives you an insight into their overall well-being.
With such a variety of meanings, how can you interpret your cat’s meow? Paying attention to your cat’s body language can help you better understand what they’re trying to say. The position of their tail and ears says a lot. What are they meowing at? And how often does this happen? For example, if you’ve noticed that your kitty usually meows at around mealtime every day, you know that’s a call for food.
The type of meow can also help you pinpoint the emotional response of your kitty. If your cat is making a series of short meows, they are most likely asking for attention or food. On the other hand, a long, drawn-out meow may indicate frustration, anxiety, or discomfort.
If your little one is meowing more than usual, consider investigating the root cause with your trusted veterinarian. Any changes to our pets’ behavior could be a sign that something is wrong.
Love is The Universal Language
How you respond to your furkiddo is just as important as understanding what they are trying to tell you. Reacting to signs of affection with positive reinforcement and love can help strengthen the bond between you and your little one. Some of these sounds are usually a good indication of your little one’s mood:
- Chirrup: a short, high-pitched sound that’s often a friendly greeting or a sign of excitement.
- Squeak: is a softer and higher-pitched sound, which is often a sign of contentment or pleasure.
- Purring: If your cat is purring and rubbing against you, it’s likely a sign of affection and a desire for attention. However, if their ears are flattened, or their body is tense, they may be feeling threatened or aggressive.
Your Kitty is Sending You Stress Signals
In the same way that you should react positively to sounds that show their happiness, approach your cat with patience, understanding, and compassion when they’re exhibiting signs of distress. Avoid punishing or scolding them, as this can worsen the situation and damage your relationship with your kitty. Instead, provide them with the support and care they need to feel safe and comfortable. If you hear any of these sounds, consider talking to your vet to help identify the underlying cause:
- Teeth chattering: is a unique sound that cats make when they’re excited, anticipating something, or feeling anxious or stressed.
- Yowling: is a long, loud, mournful-sounding vocalization that cats use to communicate their displeasure or ask for help.
- Caterwauling: is another sound that cats make, which is often associated with female cats in heat, but it can also be a sign of stress or frustration in males.
In cases of stress signals like different-sounding cats meow, aggressive hissing, or stress yowl, natural calming supplements can help. NHV’s holistic vet and master herbalist formulated NHV Matricalm specifically for kitties dealing with stress. You can also add NHV Lesstress to your little one’s regimen for those with excessive anxiety and aggressive behavior. These two supplements can help your cat to keep calm and relaxed naturally.
At NHV, our pet experts can help you understand what your feline kiddo is trying to tell you and recommend natural ways to help. Press the button below to chat with someone on our team. We are happy to help!

Natural Dog Stress Reliever Supplemental Support
With a heightened sense of hearing and smell, small events that seem mundane to us can be terrifying and stressful for your dogs. Sometimes the stress is from the ride to the office, or maybe they are missing their human companions. This all contributes to changes in behavior like excessive panting, drooling, sweaty paws, dilated eyes, pacing, excessively shedding, or just completely shutting down. Some dogs become so stressed that it may lead to fear and aggression.
Other forms of stress in a dog’s life include:
- Working dogs that are pushed too hard
- Flying on a plane
- Special events (eg. fireworks)
- Staying in a shelter
- The loss of an owner
- The loss or addition of a furry playmate
- Going to a new home
- Moving
In addition to panting, excessive barking/whining, chewing on themselves, shivering (when it’s not cold), panicked tail wagging, or tense muscles, stress can also cause GI tract issues such as diarrhea or vomiting.
The key to a healthy pup is balance. Too much or too little activity can be harmful, as well as too much or too little socialization. A balanced, clean diet also helps maintain the body and the mind. If your dog is susceptible to stress, you can use calming herbs like those found in NHV Lesstress. This formulation gently acts on the nervous system and immune system to provide a natural dog stress reliever.
How NHV’s Natural Dog Stress Relief Eases Stress and Anxiety
For stressful experiences such as separation anxiety, the loss or addition of a furry friend, special events (eg. fireworks) and illness (stress can cause conditions to worsen), the natural (non-addictive) sedative properties of Lesstress gently relax the nervous system and endocrine system. Ingredients like Chamomile, Passion Flower and Lemon Balm work to calm nerves while ingredients like Reishi, Eleuthero, and Echinacea Angustifolia are very beneficial for helping the body adapt to stress and illness and stimulate healthy immune function.
Help Support Your Dog Naturally
All NHV supplements like Lesstress are 100% natural and created by a holistic veterinarian and a master herbalist, specially formulated for pets. Feel free to contact our veterinary professionals to get more insight into your little one’s health and wellbeing.

Holistic Support for Rescued Puppies and Kittens
Giving a rescued pet a second chance at life is a beautiful thing to do! So many young pets are rescued from terrible situations or surrendered to shelters, so they may experience a lot of stress going from one place to another. Small changes can feel incredibly stressful for animals which can present as destructive or aggressive behavior. Unfortunately for rescued pets, it is hard to know what environment they were in or what they were eating before coming home with you. Foodwise, they may have been eating low-quality processed food that is missing essential nutrients or maybe they were malnourished (from living on the streets). To help ease your new furry friend into their forever home, we recommend adding natural supplements to their daily meals after they have been vaccinated and weaned. This preventative care plan is beneficial for supporting their overall health and to help slow down or prevent chronic illness (which may develop due to age, genetics, or environment). NHV Shelter Pet Happy Starter Hit contains Matricalm, Multi Essentials, and Plantaeris. This bundle of natural supplements has been formulated to calm stressed and anxious pets, help fill nutritional voids, and support quick recovery from diarrhea (which is prone to happen in young animals). To learn more about caring for your new furbaby, read our post on simple steps for a healthy puppy or kitten.
How NHV Supplements Provide A Comprehensive Adopted Puppy Kit and Kitten Kit
Changes in your new puppy or kitten’s environment can cause a lot of anxiety, especially if they are super sensitive (some breeds of dogs and cats are more prone to stress) or have experienced trauma. To express this nervous energy, they may exhibit destructive or aggressive behavior. To help ease your fluffy friend into their forever home, Matricalm’s blend of herbs like passion flower, chamomile and valerian contain soothing properties that may relax the body and improve the feeling of relaxation while the smell of lemon balm may instantly calm your pet’s nerves. Multi Essentials is like a multi-vitamin for pets. It helps to fill nutritional voids (especially for malnourished pets) and supports essential processes like blood pressure and metabolism. Puppies and kittens have very sensitive tummies so if you’re trying out different foods for them, or they mischievously snack on things they aren’t supposed to, Plantaeris’ blend of ingredients help to relax muscle cramping and helps lubricate delicate intestinal mucosa to aid proper digestion and help restore healthy bowel movements.
