If you didn't know, cats learn to meow from being with humans. They learn that being vocal gets them what they want. That's why you hear them meowing when it's time for dinner, especially if you are ONE minute late serving it. So what happens when you hear a street cat meowing non-stop? You should probably be at least a little bit concerned, because that might not be some feral tomcat, that might just be a family's beloved pet lost on the streets.
TikToker @miijoouuu recently had to stop and chat with a very vocal cat out on the streets. She was on her usual nightly stroll when she heard some incessant meowing. Like, loud and nonstop, which is very bizarre behavior for a street cat. Usually, they want to stay quiet and stealthy. So, she decided to go and inspect. She found a skinny orange cat, loafed up in the dirt, meowing for help.
When she approached the cat, they were very friendly and kept meowing. This is when she realized something was definitely wrong. This was not a wild cat thriving in the wild, this had to be somebody's pet lost and afraid. So she followed him, scooped him up, and then went to work on the apps trying to see if anybody posted about a missing cat in the area.
Low and behold, she found a picture of a cat that looked just like him, but with more meat on his bones. It turns out his family has been looking for him every single day for an entire month! When she brought him home, both the family and the kitty were emotional. He kept purring and making biscuits and the family couldn't thank their new hero enough.
So, if a cat on the street strikes up a conversation, you should definitely stop and listen. You may end up being someone's new hero.
