  • Hello, I'm Simon - welcome to Simon's Cat Logic, we'll be finding out from a cat

    你好,我是賽門,歡迎來到賽門貓邏輯

  • expert why cats behave the way they do, and today we're finding out about 'Cat Sounds'

    我們將從專家口中得知喵星人的行為邏輯,而今日主題是「貓的聲音」

  • Well, of course all cats have their own personalities and I know with my

    我們都知道喵星人的個性都獨樹一幟,

  • cats it's the sounds they make, which really helps define them from each other.

    而每隻貓的聲音有助於牠們辨別彼此

  • Well, I think the most vocal one of all of my cats has to be big fluffy

    我所有的貓裡面話最多的就屬毛茸茸的泰迪了

  • Teddy, he's such a loving cat that when he comes into the room

    牠超級可愛,牠每次進房間的時候

  • he lets you know the great big chirp, his tail's in the air, he's happy and he loves

    牠會大聲的唧唧叫一下讓你知道,牠的尾巴豎起顯示牠很開心

  • to purr and puggle and he will meow all all the time for food!

    牠很愛用呼嚕、磨蹭和喵喵叫來向你討食物

  • In contrast to Teddy, I have Maisy, big Maisy, and she was a

    和泰迪不同的是梅西,胖梅西,她曾經是流浪貓

  • rescue cat, so when she was a tiny kitten, she spent the first eight months on the

    當她還是幼貓時曾在街上流浪八個月

  • streets, so she didn't really learn to meow, because she was living with other cats

    她當時沒有學會如何喵喵叫,因為她和其他的貓生活在一起

  • and as a consequence, she doesn't really meow, so she's very quiet and she'll go

    因此她不太會喵喵叫,她很安靜,會發出一些細碎的聲音

  • make a little tiny noise, instead of a meow but she's a very affectionate cat

    而不是喵喵叫,但她是一隻很貼心的貓

  • she purrs for England, so she makes up for not having a voice by purring as

    她用最大的呼嚕聲來彌補他寡言的個性

  • [Meoooooooow]

    喵~~~~~

  • Meowing is not actually a natural behaviour for cats, out in the wild they wouldn't be

    喵喵叫其實不是喵星人自然的行為

  • communicating with one another through vocal communication, and it's the same

    在野外牠們並不會用聲音來溝通,野外的聚居地也是一樣

  • for feral colonies, when cats are communicating with each other they

    當喵星人要與其他貓溝通時

  • actually prefer to use scent communication primarily, but they'll also

    實際上牠們主要會偏好用嗅覺,但牠們也

  • rely on facial expression and body language as well. But, with our pet cats

    會靠臉部表情和肢體語言。但我們的寵物貓

  • they tend to be quite chatty. What's really interesting is that this is a

    通常會很多話,有趣的是

  • communication form that builds up over time with owners and their cats. The cat

    這樣的溝通方式是建立在飼主和寵物貓之間

  • will develop specific meows depending on how their owner responds.

    寵物貓因為主人的反應不同而發出特殊的喵叫

  • So if a cat does meow for example, to say open the door and the owner does this, then that

    舉例來說,牠們如果說把門打開而主人照做了

  • cat will learn that that's going to get the response it wants, and it's more likely

    喵星人就知道這招有用

  • to do that particular type of meow next time. This is very much a learnt behaviour

    牠們下次很有可能用同樣的喵叫,這很像是一種和人類相處的學習行為

  • with people, so if you're a chatty owner you may well find you have a chatty cat.

    所以如果你是很愛說話的飼主,你可能會發現你有一隻多話的貓

  • When a cat growls at you it's usually because they feel threatened in some way.

    如果喵星人對著你嚎叫,通常是牠們感受到某種威脅

  • Essentially what the cat is saying is stay back, because I will strike or

    這時貓可能在說,不要過來

  • attack if you come any closer. Growling is quite a distinct sound and

    你再靠近我就要攻擊你了喔,嚎叫是非常特殊的聲音

  • other animals that are much larger use low-pitched sounds, when they're being

    其他動物在感受到威脅時,大部分會使用低頻的聲音

  • threatening. So cats may be using the growl, to be more intimidating to other

    所以貓使用嚎叫來威嚇其他同類,讓牠們不要靠近

  • cats in order to get them to back off. Cats are often heard growling around

    在發現食物時常聽到貓咪的嚎叫聲

  • food, either to tell humans or other cats to stay away, this is a

    目的是為了要人類或其他同類不要接近

  • perfectly natural behaviour because out in the wild, they're solitary animals

    這是非常自然的行為,因為牠們在野外是獨生動物

  • and they wouldn't be sharing their food with others.

    牠們並不會分享食物給同類

  • A cat may hiss for a variety of reasons, whether it's because they're

    喵星人會發出嘶嘶聲有很多原因,有可能是因為牠並沒有充分的適應群體生活

  • poorly socialised or they've learned a negative association with something

    或是牠在我們不知情的狀況下和其他事物產生負面的連結

  • that we are unaware of. Cats that are hissing or spitting are very likely to scratch

    貓咪在嘶嘶聲時很有可能會抓咬攻擊

  • or bite and that's why it's very wise to leave them alone when they're showing

    當牠們出現這樣的狀況時最好離他們遠一點

  • these behaviours. If it's uncharacteristic for your cat to hiss, then certainly the

    如果你的貓發出嘶嘶聲是很不尋常的事

  • first thing we recommend, is getting the health checked by the vet, because it may

    我們的建議是立刻帶她去給獸醫檢查

  • be they have an underlying medical problems such as being in pain for

    因為牠有可能有潛在的醫療問題

  • example and it's crucial to get this ruled out first.

    像是某身體部位很痛,把這個可能性去除是非常重要的

  • Purring is one of those sounds that we're all familiar, with generally

    呼嚕聲我們是非常熟悉的

  • speaking it's when cats are being nice and content, this is a behaviour that

    大部分的情況是喵星人感到滿足或示好發出的聲音

  • kittens can show just after they've been born, it's a form of communication with

    這項行為是剛出生的幼貓能做的事,也是牠和母貓做的一種溝通方式

  • their mother that all as well. The mother will also purr back say that all is well

    而母貓也會發出呼嚕聲告訴幼貓一切都很好

  • her end too. Cats will generally purr when they're stretched out in the sun

    喵星人通常在陽光下伸展時還有趴在你的大腿上時會發出呼嚕聲

  • or lying on your lap. But there are other types of purr, there is another type of

    但還有其他種呼嚕聲,其中一種叫做請求呼嚕聲

  • purr called the solicitation purr, this sounds more urgent to the owner and they

    這種呼嚕聲聽起來較緊迫,通常是要求主人的注意或是討食

  • often asking for food or attention. Scientists have discovered that it has

    科學家發現

  • an embedded frequency that sounds like a human cry, although purring is

    這種呼嚕聲的頻率聽起來有點像人類的哭聲

  • usually a sign that a cat is content, they can also purr when they're in pain.

    雖然呼嚕聲通常是喵星人滿足的象徵,但也有可能牠們受到苦痛

  • Now, if you're concerned look at the context of the cat, are they asleep

    如果你在意的話,請看看貓咪的狀況

  • and feeling nice and relaxed? Or could there be other medical signs that

    牠們是不是能熟睡而且感覺良好放鬆

  • there's an underlying medical problem?

    或是有可能有一些生理警訊或醫療問題?

  • When I had finished my very first Simon's cat film, I started to think about the cat noises

    當我完成第一隻賽門貓的影片,我開始想關於貓咪發出的聲音

  • he would make, I had a silent film, the cat was acting but he had no voice. First

    我有一支無聲影片,片中貓咪並沒有發出聲音

  • of all I thought about putting real-life cat noises on top of the cartoon.

    我一開始想要配真的貓咪的聲音

  • But I soon found out this didn't really work, they weren't really gelling

    但我很快發現這行不通,牠們的聲音不是黏在一起的

  • together. So then I thought, well...l I've kept cats all my life I know the noises they

    後來我就想,我養貓養了一輩子,我非常懂牠們什麼時候會發出什麼樣的聲音

  • would make him and how his mind is working and what noises he would make in

    牠們當時在想什麼,通常在這樣的狀況下會發出什麼聲音

  • that situation. So then I thought I'd give it a go.

    所以我決定放手去做

  • Meow

  • Meow

  • And, it works...

    我成功了

  • So ever since then, I've recorded all the cat noises myself!

    從那次開始,所有的貓叫聲我都自己錄
