•Why do cats make a noise that doesn't seem to be communicating to other animals?
Summary
Nutrition label
72% Informative
Cats make a variety of sounds to communicate with the people and animals around them.
Chattering noise doesn't appear to be communicating to us or to other animals.
Cats' independence makes them difficult to study in the lab, so there are no current studies directly investigating this behavior.
One hypothesis is that it's a frustration behavior.
