Usually, it takes years of living with people to notice their habits. Cain only needed a few encounters to realize that not all Jaguar people say nya. It was only Selena, which was a bit weird.
At first, when he heard her say nya, he thought about how he never knew that Jaguars meow. However, quickly shook the thought as he remembered the cheetahs. Those things chirp like birds so he might have learned something wrong about black jaguars. Trusting a live example (Selena) was better than his knowledge after all.
That was until now that he realized it. Other black jaguars talk like normal people. They do not meow. The only difference is that their voice is a bit deep and has a growl mixed in. Probably due to the weird anatomy of their jaw, throat, and neck. They can open their jaws wide enough to fit a human neck after all.
