      Cat’s meows all fall within a certain range, with some variation – cats will be able to distinguish the meows of its kittens for example. But each cat does not have their own specific ‘voice’ so to speak!

      Cats can vary the pitch and frequency of their meows however! Some research has shown cats to do this to manipulate their owners into giving them more attention!
