Cats Do Exploit Humans With Their Subtle Meow’s

Domestic cats have developed subtle ways of psyching out their owners to get what they want, a study has shown. Pussy’s favourite ploy when hungry is to throw an urgent meow-like call into a flurry of contented purrs. The resulting mixed signal taps into a natural instinct for nurturing offspring and is difficult to ignore, according to psychologists. Dr McComb’s team found that humans judged purrs recorded when cats wanted food to be more urgent and less pleasant than in other situations.
