they'd still be assholes

Would you be able to create a language with dick sucking if you had a high enough intelligence?
>>8597060
yes
>>8597062
Well there's your answer
meow

meow

depends on their acustic ability to discern different sounds. if that is enough to sustain a complex language then yeah why not, otherwise they would need to adapt their meowing skills to cope up with hearing skills

if you can encode language in it (which you can, we already do it in bits) then the answer is yes.
Every species has their own language. Humans can't hear like half the sounds cats make anyway, and they use different (and inaudible to humans) sounds when communicating with each other than they do with humans, just like we do with them.
They already use a language far superior to the subjective, easily misinterpreted systems of language. Since humans are the only animal who use cultural vocal signatures to relate and communicate with one another. It is obvious that cats use telepathy to communicate among their kind as well as others. If you really think about it, most of the conflicts the human species (or Anthropos) has caused & endured has been due to miscommunication. If we simply focus more on learning to communicate telepathically, then language will become as obsolete as horse-drawn carriages. So cats may be wondering when humans will become intelligent enough to speak the universal language of telepathy.

Why would they?
They already get all they want whenever they meow (food, attention, etc)
>>8597062
Actually no. Cats lack physiology and vocal dexterity for complex language. People forget we are perhaps more physically than mentslly gifted for language. Even if dolphins are smart they probably lack an appropriate anatomical medium to be as complex

There's a huge amount of variety in cat vocalizations, especially when you consider larger cats that haven't been domesticated and divided into individually less physically capable breeds. They certainly don't possess extreme variety such that can be found like the differences between a western language and an african language certainly, note the absence of subtle control variety including but not limited to gb sounds, nasal inferences, clicks, vowel indeterminancies, and of course they don't possess the ability to maintain a large vocabulary of external vocal patterns that they associate with action or desire. A cat is likely to learn its own name and understand that that aural pattern is in reference to the concept of a call or initiating a response. This alone indicates an ability to process language at some basic level, but if they possessed the ability to create a complete language, they would have.
>>8597052
They have a neocortex, so it's not unreasonable to assume they already use language. It's just not codified.
