I don’t thikn they sound particularly like a human baby because I can’t stand the sound of a human baby crying but when my cat talks I melt into a useless gibbering idiot food dispenser.

Yeah it’s one of those internet myths. What they do is mimic their own baby sounds aka meow even when they’re adults but that’s not really a manipulation tactic. We infantilize them by caring for them and they in turn display some of their infant behaviours. Adult tigers in captivity meow too.

Worse than that, it’s something incels tell each other about why women aren’t having babies. Because they have cats that satisfy the maternal urge.
For the record, babies crying- doesn’t matter if I’ve given birth to it or not- is not a “cute” sound. It is an enraging sound. It makes us move quickly because we hate it.
If we thought baby cries were cute things we wanted to listen to, we wouldn’t hurry to help the child, and thar completely defeats the purpose of it.

Somebody should infiltrate the incel community and convince them that they can get women by dressing up like cats and making baby sounds

If we loved the sound of babies crying we’d have foxes not cats.
