Miki, like our dearly missed Siamese before him, has a very large vocabulary. When he was small, the only word was "Maaaah", delivered at variable volume depending on what he wanted. Now he has all sorts of sounds, including a very feral moaning growl when he is dragging his prey around. Various catnip mice and stolen items, along with geckos dumb enough to come into a house with cats.

Keko has just one sound, sort of a "Hooo-oot?" with a question mark at the end. Uses it to get your attention, then leads you to what it is he wants you to address.

Cats seem to have more vocabulary than dogs. A few of my dogs wold “woo woo” or “woof” but my current golden is almost completely mute.

Our Ragdoll has several different sounds. A trill, like a bird; a Rrrrrrr sound that is just like a little kid would make with his race cars; a loud, annoyed meow if she isn't getting the attention she wants; and that “very, feral growl” like you mentioned when she REALLY wants someone to play with her- NOW. We can usually tell what she wants just by her voice.
