Anecdotally, my cats meow at me a lot. But they're my cats (others live in the house and help care for them). I also meow back more than anyone else. In fact, I might be the only one to do so. :)

I used to meow back to my cat when he was younger for vocal modulation and pitch practice (lots of minor seconds and perfect fourths). This might have been a mistake as he's now very talkative, particularly when I'm on the phone.
