Some cats develop their own way of communicating -- a particular meow, for example -- the same way people who speak the same language may have different regional accents.

In other words a cat may say, "Meow Y'all" versus just a simple "Meow"?

My cat, Tribble, speaks in 30 different languages. I swear! He he has meows, trills, squeeks and tribble sounds. (Yes, he is named for the Star Trek Tribbles because that is what one of his languages sounds like!)

The past two days he has been talking up a storm! I sit and read when I get home from work and he walks around me talking in several of his launguages. And when I ask him "What?" he meows real loud. Yes, I know what he wants, he wants me to take him outside so he can smell the smells.

He doesn't purr that much but when he does it sound like a lion or tiger. It's almost subsonic. Real deep.

He is such a great cat!

Now, I did have a cat that meowed in a Texas accent. Had the whole twang going and everything. She was part Burmese and multi-syllabically chatty...I used to swear she was trying to speak English.
