In normal wild cats only kittens meow. Domesticated cats will only meow when they are trying to communicate with humans.
Adult domesticated cats will communicate with other cats in many ways:
- with smell, your cat spraying everything is just marking its territory
- hissing or growling, even very small very small cats can be very good at deterring much bigger cats
- when female cats are in heat they make a lot of noise but i don't think that does qualify as meowing
- most cat communication is non-verbal, we probably don't understand much of it
If have listened to several of these sound recordings and they only sample a tiny fraction of cat communications.
