Thanks everyone for your inspriring comments, and for sharing your experiences!

Yes, it IS true that they communicate a lot by body language and scents, but I'm sure there's more than that! Have you ever seen cats sitting together, not moving, maybe not even looking at each other, but you're sure that there's something going on between them?

Amelia Kinkade says they are "sending pictures". This is also the level on which the communication between humans and animals work, according to her. She says everyone can learn it, it's an ability that only needs to be revived. Well, I'm not sure, I'm not good in these kind of things, but sometimes I would like to participate in an animal communication workshop.

Well, and even if I'm unable to "receive" their messages, I hope that at least they are able to receive those I'm sending... I hope they can read from my thoughts how very much I love them!

BTW, regarding meowing: Yes, I think this is something they came up with to talk to us. They have noticed that humans react best to acustic signals, so they developed this kind of language. They are so smart!
