Cats don't meow at other cats, only at humans. Watch till the end and it will completely change how you hear your cat. Adult cats in the wild are almost completely silent with each other. They communicate through scent, body language, slow blinks, meowing is something kittens do, to call their mother when they need her, and then they stop forever, unless they're living with you. Here's what happened. Your cat figured out that you don't understand scent signals, you don't read body language well enough. So, they went back to the one tool that actually works on you, the sound they used as a kitten to get their mother's attention. Your cat is not just meowing. Your cat invented a private language, just for you. Different meows for hunger, for attention, for pain, research shows, cats develop unique vocalizations for each owner. Your cat has sounds it uses only with you. Sounds that exist nowhere else in the world. Think about that.
