Reply to comment by Perfide01 in TIL that cats are more vocal with humans than with other cats. by Everyusernametaken1
I've heard the exact opposite. Domesticated cats are in a state of arrested development and retain kitten-like behavior far longer than feral cats.

I think this makes the most sense. Kitten meows elicit attention from their parents, like a cry from a human baby. As cats grow up around humans, they learn that meows get attention from their owners. Thus, a kitten-like trait is retained when it wouldn't if not being raised around humans.
