The cat talks to birds, our cat can talk, how our cat talks

You can endlessly watch your pet hunt for a string with a bow! However, the sight of a cat watching a bird is no match for anything.

Do not worry, this behavior is a manifestation of the pet's "wild" instincts. Cats do this not only when they see birds. They may begin to make unusual sounds at the sight of insects and small rodents, but this usually happens with birds.
According to veterinarian Erica Loftin, this is the sound of arousal of a prey cat. Perhaps that is why domestic cats behave this way with birds, since it is more difficult to get to them than, for example, to a bug that crawled nearby. But the behaviorist Celia Haddon notes that such chirping speaks of the disappointment experienced by the domestic predator.

Unfortunately, these are only theories; it is rather difficult to understand the nature of this behavior. However, a 2010 study did shed some light on this mystery. Researcher Fabio Roe was able to understand why cats start chirping and not meowing as usual.
A biologist studied a group of tamarins in the forests of Brazil. Roe and his colleagues were recording the vocalizations of the monkeys when they suddenly noticed that the long-tailed Margai cat was mimicking the sounds of baby tamarins in order to get closer to the monkeys. The tamarins were knocked off the table, so instead of running, they went to investigate the source of the sound, which was only in the hands of a wild cat.

Based on this, scientists have suggested that cats specifically adapt to their victims in order to lull their vigilance. The chirping of domestic cats is most likely an evolutionary feature, but it still requires further study.
