What is cat trilling
Cat trilling is the sound made by cats when they are happy. It is a rare and special sound that is often referred to as the purr of happiness.
Cat trilling sounds like “meow” but it is not the same sound. It is often described as a high-pitched meow, with a long, drawn out “aaahh” at the end.
Cat trilling is also known for its connection to feline vocalization and can be heard between 8-10 times per minute. Cats often use this sound to communicate with humans and other cats, especially when they are feeling threatened or excited.
It is not clear why cats make this noise, but it appears that it may have something to do with their anatomy. There is a space in their palate where they can create vibrations without moving the tongue or lips.
