Yeah... My oldest cat makes different noises for different requests. Yowling near door to go outside, chirping near bowls for dinner, and little mews while following you around to be picked up. And I'm not really sure it's an outlier case as the other two younger cats are starting to learn to do the same.

Older cats absolutely teach younger ones their behaviors. It's no coincidence!
