We've all seen it: Kitty gives us an endearing
stare, then opens his mouth and acts like he's meowing, but no sound comes out.
Experts have speculated that the cat really is making a sound when he does the
silent meow, but it's too high-pitched for us to hear. But why does he do it?
Some behaviorists say it's the ultimate gesture of love, but I've seen it used more often as an expression of absolute, pathetic beseeching: "Please, for the love of all things cute and fuzzy, feed me now before I die of starvation!"
