This is a really stupid question but here goes....

Does anyone else think there is a difference in the meow of a male and
female cat?....their 'normal' meow that is, not mating call etc.


Don't think there's a distinct difference between male/female, I can
possibly see some difference when it comes to unneutered cats I've observed.
I think cats usually have a voice of their own, high or low, different types
of meows and sounds they make and so on and that they normally will develope
over time - much of their "talking" is of course for our benefit, we who are
too slow to pick up on more subtle signals and seem to enjoy making
chattering noices most of the time ...

My two, both neutered abys, talk quite a lot, the female Thea has done it
since she was small (only cat for the first couple of months after she moved
in) and the male Bono has more grown in to it, possibly picking up on Thea's
chattering. Thankfully they have little voices, they both sound more or less
pitiful most of the time ... (don't tell them I said that!), and they both
also have their own versions of practically inaudible - at least to me -
meows.
