Dogs bark, cats meow, and roosters crow...What's the Meaning? : JUSBMEE

Dogs 🐶 bark, cats 🐈‍⬛ meow, and roosters 🐓 crow, right? It’s almost second nature to assign meaning to the noises animals make.

But what do they mean when they make those noises? Cats 🐈 don’t meow — they are silent until they reach maturity and begin to produce sounds.

Roosters 🐔 crowing at sunrise is part of their mating call. When dogs 🐩 bark, what do they say? What does a cat meow mean?

And if you hear a rooster crowing in the morning? There are many theories about these sounds and why animals use them as vocalizations.

Here I’ll dive into the meanings behind common animal sounds…

What Do Dogs Say When They Bark?

Needless to say, I’ll say it anyway…I have never been a lover of any animal; why? FEAR!

That’s to say, some dogs 🐕 are vicious looking, while others are playful…don’t matter either way; I’m not going to put my ass in place so a dog can take a bite!

Anywho, dogs bark for various reasons, including alerting the owners of a perceived threat, being territorial, or for play.

Although, dog barking can be beneficial, especially if a dog is used for protection. Having a dog that barks when someone gets too close to your property can be a great way to deter criminals.

The dogs’ bark warns the trespassers to get the hell off this property! You are not welcome here! So, get to stepping! B’fore I go on the offense! Cause you know damn well you don’t live here!

Also, dogs bark when excited, such as when reunited with their owners after a long trip away; that is to say, it’s about time you get home. (I missed y’all !)

In the wild, barking is used to warn other animals of your presence and to scare away predators. When a dog barks in a house, it is generally to get the attention of humans, but the reason why, who knows!

What Do Cats Mean When They Meow?

Cats can be very territorial, and their owners are seen as their property.

Cats use meowing to mark their territory and let other cats know that their humans are their property and their owners know what they want.

For example, a cat that wants to be let outside or fed often lets its owner know by meowing.

Cats can sometimes produce a clicking noise, which can signify aggression. Which is why…I don’t care to be in the presence of a cat! (They can scratch your eyes out!)

What Does a Crow Mean?

The most important reason a rooster will crow is to say so that you know; I am here. Therefore, don’t even think about invading my space. Announcing their presence loud and clear to anyone or roosters within earshot.

Still another well-known reason why a rooster 🐓 crows is the early morning call. Roosters will start to crow before sunrise;

The early morning call encourages you to get out of bed, move, and start your day. (By the way, you know you must be in the country to enjoy this luxury!) Right?

City folks aren’t allowed …no 🐔 allowed.
