What happens if you say meow to a cat?

So, I'm curious, let's say you're hanging out with a feline friend and you suddenly feel the urge to say "meow" to them. What exactly would be the outcome of such an interaction? Does the cat respond in kind, perhaps even initiating a meow-off? Or does it just give you a confused look, wondering why you're suddenly trying to communicate in its language? Could it even interpret your meow as a threat or a challenge, leading to a potentially awkward situation? I'm eager to know, what happens when you say meow to a cat?
