Scientists have been studying the behavior of cats for a long time, but these creatures still remain some of the most mysterious.
While studying the nature of cat meowing, scientists came to the conclusion that the sounds produced by the animal are aimed at strengthening the connection with people.
This is the conclusion reached by researchers from Queen's University in Belfast, reports the scientific publication Live Science.
Scientists have noticed that domestic cats use meowing less often when interacting with each other.
More often, vocal abilities are used by animals with people to find a common language, and adaptation began after the domestication of cats.
Conclusions of scientists
Scientists believe that pets use different vocal abilities to convey different feelings and emotions.
The voice may become insistent, change tone, and sound like a scream.
It was also possible to find out that cats themselves react to human speech addressed to them and distinguish speech addressed not to them, but to other people.
