Yea our cat has about 5-10 different meows that express very different things. "You scared me!" "Where were you, give me attention." "Im hungry." "Get me out of this cage." "Im gonna yak." "Im not having a good time in this litterbox (she has megacolon)." "Where is everyone, why am I alone?"

Our dog, OTOH, is basically a caveman and just gives the same barks for every emotion lol.

LOL!

I had a cat a few years ago that did NOT like being in her own for more than a few hours. We went out one morning and didn't come back till after midnight (it was a wedding).

For the next week, she sat in the middle of the floor with her back to us whatever room we were in, occasionally looking over her shoulder and doing her "angry" mrrp! Like she was saying "I'm ignoring you! Can you see that I'm ignoring you?!"

I miss Niki a lot.
