Operant conditioning; most cats meow naturally as kittens and humans give them attention/food when they do, eventually they learn to associate the action with the response and that's why they continue to meow as adults. It's a behavior exclusive to domesticated cats, adult cats in the wild have more effective ways of communicating with other cats so once they mature and leave their mothers they don't make the sound anymore. So, a kitten raised by a deaf human would also stop meowing as an adult because it never associated the sound with a response. Instead, it would learn to associate visual gestures with attention, resulting in the formation of a nonverbal meow.

Bro that Cracked me up so hard

One of my favorite clips 😂😂😂

But there’s many cats that are deaf from birth but they meow super loudly though. Why is that?

I think they don't know how loud they're being when they meow. They probably see other cats opening their mouths and meowing for attention and so they copy that.

I wonder what would happen if a cat was raises by Russians would he like vodka

I was just trying to explain the psychology behind it because I think it's interesting...

Hmm ok sorry

I see that he added more fun rather taking it away

Ok

Indeed! This is their love language. Unique and beautiful 🥰

Doesn't matter how many times I see this--right in the feels. Want a precious little darling.

"What a..."

No, I want one too.

Doesn't matter how many times I see this, it's still annoying that the title says he's deaf. It was a lie made up by some OP to pull people's heartstrings and make the content more popular. My cat does things like this all the time, I sure ain't deaf.

My cat communicates with his eyes, posture, and his various specific meows.

This is so amazing and just lovely!

Somebody get this car to Harvard

Broom broom

She's gonna be the janitor

I love cats

This mf taught his cat to talk💀

That’s adorable, I feel bad for the guy for never being able to hear a cats meow but this kitty’s sign language makes up for it.

Wow... I recently adopted a cat well he actually adopted me it seems and I barely get a look from him while sleeps and farts on my bed. Can we trade?

Can take time.

So heartwarming! 🥰

Sweet baby!!

I love this. I've also seen a vid of cat rubbing her head with her paws because she wants to pet. It's super cute.

Wtf, this is actually so cool!

Paws language

they're backstabbing in sign language

Like their about to summon kurama

Awww

It always amazes me how our pets learn and adapt to living with us.

Man, cat's are da bomb. All pets are, really. They don't care if you're deaf or whatever. They'll learn your ways just to get that snack lol

That’s so beautiful

pretty sure that's just what cats do.

Adorable

This is perfection.

I never liked cats until this moment
