Many pet owners talk to them. In this article, we will talk about whether your cat understands you.
Research results
While cats often seem indifferent to conversations, a new study in Animal Cognition suggests that these furry animals are listening.
The researchers analyzed how cats respond to the speech of the owner, the stranger, and to the higher tones that the animals themselves communicate.
The scientists found that the cats responded to the speech of their owner, who spoke in tones similar to meowing.
There was no reaction to the usual speech of the host or stranger. In addition, the most interesting thing is that cats were also indifferent to "cat" speech from strangers.
This means that cats are able to have an emotional connection with the owner and listen to his speech. Contrary to the belief, that cats are always on their own and are very independent animals from people.
A growing body of research and evidence indicates that cats care about their owners.
In addition, cats have a good memory for vocalization designations and are capable of learning. However, the approach to these animals needs an individual and not quite the same as for dogs.
