never heard a tiger meow, so you might be onto something

Fair, tigers dont make sound i'd classify as a meow. But other big cat species do :

I always believed , though im not a biologist, that they kept doing it because they got something nice as a reward. Pets, food, water, door that is being opened,... The meowing is linked to getting something good so they keep doing it.
