CatCog: Cat Science & Psychology

CatCog is the podcast for people who don’t just love their cats—they want to understand them.

Hosted by Adam, a psychologist who treats feline behavior with the seriousness it deserves, we decode the "why" behind the meow. We skip the fluff and generic tips to dig into the actual science: How does their vision work? Why do they really zoom at 3 AM? And how can we use biology to give them a longer, happier life?

Join Adam and his cat, Moon, as they translate complex research into a user’s manual for your favorite predator.

Cat Sounds Translated: What Does My Cat Mean? (Meow, Purr, Trill)

Cats evolved the Meow specifically to communicate with humans, as adult cats rarely use it with each other. In this episode, we decode the 7 primary vocalizations, explaining the biological function of the Purr (which vibrates at 25-150Hz to promote bone density) and the Chatter (a jaw reflex).

We cover:

The Healing Purr: How the frequency of a purr aids in tissue regeneration.
The Trill: The "Hello" sound mothers use with kittens (and you).
The "Kill Bite": Why cats chatter at birds through the window.
The Yowl: When vocalization signals cognitive dysfunction or pain in senior cats.

Your cat is talking. Are you listening?
