Thank you for this, this is the best thing ever.

Yes! When you catch him off guard or wake him, he'll coo like that. It's similar to his whimper when approaching.

He's sweetest when he wakes up, so it turns into more of a coo than whimper since he's purring a bit.

Seems to be his hello/greeting call.

For real. Off the top of my head there's, MeerrrOOOOOwww MerrrOOOOwww, the loudest one, huge inflection in the middle. Generally while strolling through the house, back and forth. I think that's the "I'm bored" one. But he'll also do it if I stay up. If someone is out of bed past curfew he'll do it. I have to close the bedroom door or he'll wake the wife.

If you say summon him he'll probably ignore you but if he's interested he'll whimper errrderrruuderr softly while walking toward you.

Then there's, MOWLLLLL MOWLLLLL, slowly howling, that sometimes means he's sick and gunna throw up. Usually right on both the rug and the carpet.

Then there's, MAHHH MAHHH, just two in quick succession, which literally sounds like mama. That's the I want something one, generally he wants catnip from the outside plant.

Just heard him go MOOOOW MUUUROWLLL MUUUROWLLL howling, but he's just pacing back and forth from the window and now wimpering at me. So I assume he's misses mama (the wife).

The funniest is and most unique is, BRRRRAHDAHDOP, which he yells before tearing full speed through the house or down the hallway for seemingly no reason. I think that's either "Look at me" or he's so excited he can't contain himself and it slips out naturally.

Side note: this was an interesting challenge creating and optimizing these onomatopoeias

You seem to be really offended by this statement, you even went to his profile to find something to attack him?

GP isn't trying to write a paper, he's stating an observation based on his experience with the animals he's had.

Feel free to dispute the above statements with research or anecdotes, but solely insulting people and getting angry just reflects poorly on you.

I can only assume you are one of those stupid cats seeing how you handled yourself in this thread :)

I believe those go hand in hand. The smarter the animal usually the more personality they have.

I just meant general intelligence over all varies among animals. I'm not stating facts, I'm stating my observations.

Personally, it's pretty easy over time to tell the difference between apathy and intelligence when you spend a lot of time observing interactions.

"People like you" should check your tone btw.

This. Not limited to cats either. I've noticed the same in dogs and even some cows.

Same rules apply to humans as well. Interaction early on develops personality and intelligence varies genetically by a wide margin.

You fantasize about a scene where you have a cool comeback when you overhear someone railing against a state you live in?

Then you think about it again and comment on a public forum about it. Yeah that's totally not caring at all.
