Anyone who's owned or even merely encountered a cat knows, they can do some pretty strange things.

Experts suggest cats can make over 100 unique types of sounds,

ranging from low, elongated grouse to joyful, chirpy greetings.

Meow.

This involves small, rapid movements in the cat's jaws, emitting sounds like this.

Cats usually exhibit this behavior when they're looking out the window at birds or other animals outside

and there are a few theories as to why this is the case some cat behaviors speculate that they may

emit this sound out of frustration that they can see prey animals like birds or mice but are

unable to go out and catch them.
