Meow

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

MEOW (said: "mee-YOWH" ) is a sound made by cats. Most cats that meow are small or kittens. Sometimes larger cats meow but smaller cats do it much more often and without stopping. Especially when the animal wants something such as food or affection.

Many words that are animal sounds are onomatopoeias. This means they sound like what they are. Other animal onomatopoeias are:

  • woof
  • bow-wow
  • squeak
  • oink
