It has been proven that dogs not only recognize human speech, but are also capable of storing up to fifty or more words in their memory.
This doesn't work with cats, and it is generally believed that they don't so much serve people as they manipulate their consciousness, turning the weaknesses of their owners to their own advantage.
But recent research by scientists has proven that cats recognize and even react to their owner's voice. This means that you can expect a response.
2013 year
It was proven 10 years ago that cats react to the human voice, as evidenced by the movement of the head and ears. It was also proven that a cat recognizes the voice of its owner.
2017 year
Scientists compared the manner of speaking with domestic animals and babies. The conditionally harmonious voice was called "speech for kittens". It was a simple and melodic voice with a high pitch.
As a result, it was possible to find out that the hearing apparatus of cats works in a wide range, i.e. animals can be more attentive to human speech.
Training
The shortest way to train a cat is hunger combined with the owner's voice. Scientists have come to the conclusion that nothing motivates cats to act as much as food.
In addition, it was found that the first reaction to the human voice is observed in kittens at the age of 17 days. It is from this age that experts advise accustoming pets to the voice, pronouncing simple names and using rewards in the form of treats.
