Cats talk to people and demand that everything be fixed.
Cat screams, howls, and meows are your cat's way of intentionally getting your attention so you can fix the world's imperfections. Animal behaviorists from the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil watched 38 domestic cats to see what happened when their humans were and weren't around.
A favorite treat was placed in front of the animals with the tail in a closed plastic box with holes. The cat smelled it, but couldn't get to it. When a person was nearby, the cats were four times as loud, with a total of 86 meows, compared to 20 when alone. In addition, the animals with the tail constantly looked from the box to the person to clarify what the problem was. This suggests that meowing is not just an involuntary expression of the cat's emotions.
Cat people knew it, but science confirmed it.
