Adult wild cats do not meow except in the presence of humans. Even domesticated cats rarely do meow if no human is nearby. It seems cats figure out that we can't hear the frequencies they normally communicate with and purposefully make themselves heard.

we can’t hear the frequencies they normally communicate with
