True
Cats only meow to communicate with humans, not other cats.
Infact verdict: True (86/100).
The claim that cats only meow to communicate with humans and not other cats is mostly supported by the evidence. Sources indicate that while cats have a wide range of vocalizations, meowing is primarily used for cat-to-human communication. Adult cats generally do not meow to other cats, as they rely on other forms of communication such as body language and scent. However, the claim is not entirely exclusive, as there might be rare instances where cats meow to each other. Therefore, the claim is mostly true but slightly overstated.
