They always could talk, but they just didn’t feel like it
In fact the miau sound you are used to is produced exclusively in presence of humans, normally they make other sounds
Yes, there were studies where it was proven that these sounds are actively being reinforced by human interactions; cats learn that this works
can confirm. i basically meow at my cat whenever he looks like he wants something. based on how he reacts i can figure out if he’s hungry, needs attention or is just doing his hourly sweep of the house.
The spell accidentally gave the cat a second set of eyes instead of the ability to speak.
Mine won’t shut up, even when we are sleeping.
My cow kitty never shuts up, I don’t even need a spell to know what he’s saying! He says " food food food food FOOD pet my belly food fooooood"
The cat says: meow!
