No idea why you are being downvoted but cats do not talk to each other either. It’s known that their meow evolved from the baby cries, to sound needy and annoying enough that you pay attention.

Cats don't meow, but they do hiss and yowl at each other. They also nose/face bump. And make specific noises in heat.

When our current cat was in heat before being spayed I recorded the sound on my phone and played it back to her. She looked very confused. Maybe I should try it on other cats to see what happens.

She's also fascinated by one particular jingly wind chime ring tone and will follow it around until she gets bored.

Hissing cat? They will hiss at one another...

Animals do not talk. My family tried to sit me down as a kid and explain this to me. “The dog does not hear english”

It’s wrong; they talk. Body language speaks.

Cat language? Nah, that’s a bit silly.
