👉 Whining is a common vocalization in animals, particularly dogs and cats, that is characterized by repeated sounds of distress or annoyance. It can be caused by various factors such as boredom, frustration, stress, or illness. Whining can occur at any time during an animal's life, but it often occurs when they are stressed or upset. Whining is usually accompanied by other vocalizations, such as growls and hisses, to indicate the speaker's distress.
