They don't even meow to each other, just to humans. They know what they are about.

they do sometimes do really low meows to intimidate other cats

No, they do sometimes. Some meow in greeting to each other, as seen on cat cams.

I keep meowing at hot guys at the bar and none have taken me home yet 😭

Did you try letting them scratch under your collar?

Meow at the moderately acceptably good (minus minus) looking and you may have some luck... but please don't get offended if we start pspspspsing you, it's just a reflex

"Everybody wants to talk about X, nobody wants to talk about Y".
That's not gaslighting, that's whataboutism.

I think it's more along the lines of cats gaslighting humans to care for them....that's where I grew the comparison.

That isn't what gaslighting is, though. Gaslighting isn't simply emotional manipulation; it's a specific kind.
