Have you ever wondered what your cats are trying to tell you when they purr? Do all purrs mean the same thing? Do you know that "meow is actually a purr mixed with a high-pitched cry" ? How should we interpret that?
Research has shown that there are similarities between cat cries and human infant cries. That explains why we become sensitive and start getting a warm and fuzzing feeling when we see our cat crying for food. They somehow have the ability to trigger our nurturing instinct.
Live Science has an article that shows how they concluded this finding - "Cats Do Control Humans". Follow the link below to find out more:
