Hi everyone --
My cats also make the "brrrp?" noise in a number of different situations. I read that it is a greeting sound for cats; kittens learn to greet their mother and each other using this noise. But clearly adult cats may use it in other contexts too. My late kitty Merlin would appear to say actual words: "go out" (when he wanted out) and "oh wow!" when something extraordinary or amazing had happened. And his sister Pinky never meowed properly at all, but would only say "quack!"
