Vocalization
Do Javanese cats vocalize?
Frequent
This cat breed meows very often. Cats typically start to meow at around six weeks old, when they are old enough to start venturing away from their mother. Meowing is thought to be a way for them to solicit food or attention from their owner. However, cats can also meow for other reasons, such as when they are bored, lonely, or in pain. Indeed, a cat's meow can often be a sign that something is wrong and they require our help. As such, it is important that we take the time to learn how to interpret our feline friend's vocalizations. By doing so, we can provide them with the love and care that they need to thrive.
