THE PHRASE

WHAT IT MEANS

Miaow

Feed me.

Meeow

Pet me.

Mrooww

I love you.

Miioo-oo-oo

I'm in love and must meet my betrothed outside beneath the hedge. (Don't wait up.)

Mrow

I feel like making noise.

Rrrow-mawww

Hey, is somebody gonna clean my litter box?

Rrrow-miawww 

Oops! Never mind about my litter box! But maybe you'd better sweep the floor.

Miaowmiaow 

Play with me.

Miaowmioaw! 

There's nothing to play with! I'm bored!

Mioawmioaw 

Since I can find nothing better to play with, I shall see what happens when I sharpen my claws on this handy piece of
furniture.

Raowwwww 

I think I shall now spend time licking the most private
parts of my anatomy.

Mrowwwww 

(Only heard in males)  I am now recalling, with sorrow, that some of my private parts did not return with me from that visit to the vet. (So THAT'S why he's called T.E.D.!! Note: T.E.D. means "The Evil Doctor".)

Roww-maww-roww 

I'm so glad you've returned home with both arms full of groceries. I will now rub myself against your legs and attempt to trip you as you walk towards the kitchen.

Mmeww

Hey Mom, I think I heard a burglar. If you wanna go and beat him senseless, I'll be happy to keep your spot in the bed warm.

Gakk-ak-ak

Now where did that hairball come from? Um, are we out of carpet cleaner?

Mow  

Snuggling is a good idea.

Moww 

Shedding is pretty good, too.

Mowww! 

I was enjoying snuggling and shedding in the warm clean laundry until you removed me so unkindly.

Miaow! Miaow! 

Uh-oh....Now that I've managed to wedge my body through this little gap behind the stove and into this little drawer of pots and pans, how do I get back out?

Mraakk!

Oh, small bird!  Please come over here.

Ssssroww! 

I believe that I have found a woodchuck. I shall now
act terribly brave. Just make sure he stays on the other side of the window.

Mmmmmmm

If I sit in the sunshine for another week or so, I think
I shall be satisfied
