Has someone posted this before? For some reason I can't see half the posts in this thread (maybe my noscripts).
Whatever, it's adorable/funny.

That made me think of something...they say that cats dont meow to each other, only to humans. And I think its also said that the cat is meowing because it has learned that mimicking a crying child will get our attention. Ok fine, I guess I can buy that. But what I dont get is...MY cats have never in their lives seen or heard a crying child but they meow to me all the time whenever they want attention or food. So how do my cats know how to do this? Is it a genetic memory or is everything I said above just urban legend?

Just like many animals, it's an instinctive begging food/warmth "where'd mom go" thing.

That familiar/stereotyped "hey mom, mom, mom, MOMMMM!" meow type vocal- that is kitten behavior/communication, which "we" as humans reinforce them to keep doing forever, albeit with their adult vocal tonal range.
