A study conducted at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil found that cats use meows to communicate with people and find solutions to their problems. In the study, 38 domestic cats were observed who could not access the food. The cats meowed 86 times when there was a human in the room and 20 times when they were alone.
- It has been determined that cats are more than 16 times more likely to meow when people are around. It has been determined that cats switch their gaze between humans and food while meowing.
