Even Though Your Cat Acts Indifferent When You Say Its Name, It Actually Knows Its Name, Suggests Study
If you’re a dog owner, you already know how ecstatic your dog gets whenever you call it by its name.
When it comes to cats, though, they are definitely way harder to read so most of the time we can’t even be sure if it knows its name!
That’s why some researchers from Japan wanted to find an answer to this question. They were curious to know if a cat could understand its name and tell the difference between that specific name and any other word that sounds like it.
There are fewer studies on cats compared to dogs. That can be because it’s harder to convince cats to participate in studies. The Japanese researchers, however, were determined to get the results they were looking for!
