Did you you that?
Domestic cats purr when injured, sick, in pain or dying. They try to calm themselves. Like their mother did when they were babies.

When a cat becomes both fearful and aggressive and is ready to fight he will flatten his ears straight back. It is believed cats pin their ears back in order to protect them during a fight. The eyes are now greatly dilated since the more fearful the cat the greater the pupils dilate.

Cats also communicate with humans and each other through vocalization. Not all meows mean the same thing. There are subtle and not so subtle differences in a cat's cry that help clue you in on what your cat needs or feels. The basic meow must be interpreted in the content of the situation. It could mean, "I want out," Where's my dinner?", or "Will you please get up now, I'm bored."
A call is when a female chirps or howls mournfully when she is in heat and is seeking a male companion. There is no mistaking this sound once you have heard it. A chirr is a "rolled" variation of meow that would be similar to a human rolling their R's. Mother cats use this to call to their kittens. It is also a sign of affection and may be used by a cat to call its owner when it is lonely. Growling, a quiet, low pitched, tone deep in the throat, or hissing indicate that the cat wants you to leave him alone. Hissing is one of the first warning calls of a cat to tell their opponent to back off. When a cat hisses at you, slowly move away from the cat and do not turn your back to it.

Ive had my cats long enough now to know what the difference in their meows means.
They have a lighter meow that has a purr sound mixed in with it which is just them telling me that are very happy.
They have a louder, longer more annoying meow which means they want to eat.
They have a shorter but still loud meow that sounds more like a duck quack which means they are in a playful mood.
