All I'll say is cats meow at humans and they don't meow at other cats except their own mom. To me this instantly defeats this take.

It's just a fun post though so I'm not judging.

    I have 2 cats. One of them meows at people, cats, dogs, birds, butterflies, toys...

    The other only meows when she's suffering horrible torture, like being picked up, or needing to scratch at the door the times without it opening.

    Cats meow at other cats besides their mother too. It's a complete myth that they don't.

    I'm not backing the take itself, as other said it is widely extrapolation, but i don't really understand how the fact that cats meowing only/mostly at their mom and humans would invalidate the theory that humans and cats are the same category in cats' minds, since they use it for both cats and humans. It could indicate that they consider humans kinda like parents cats or just parents, maybe, but i don't see how it indicates that they could consider humans as non cats.
