They say that cats don't meow at other cats; they literally have adopted the skill of using their vocal cords purely for the ability to manipulate humans. Knowing that hoomans are easily swayed by cute little mews and smol baby-like sounds, cats have developed a habit of vocalizing exactly what they want to their owners in order to get everything their tiny hearts desire. This kitty might secretly hate you, but it needs your height and your opposable thumbs to reach the things it wants. Kittens use us so we can grab their canned food (how would they open that bugger of a container without us?), so we can buy them cat toys (nobody would take a kitty with a credit card seriously at Petsmart), and to siphon their p00p out of the sandbox for them (a cat would just… never). So the sooner you realize that your cat only pspsps's to get your attention to do their bidding, the sooner you can communicate with this little fur devil and everybody wins.
