Study Shows Your Cat Knows Its Name But Chooses to Ignore You
We just celebrated International Cat Day so this study couldn't be more timely! First things first, check out how many CUTE cat pictures we got on Facebook to celebrate the national day -
You're welcome for the 230 adorable kitties. However, turns out most of these cats are born with some sass. Old news right? Well, the new news is that cats KNOW their name, but they just choose to not respond. Sound like your cat?
CNN details -
the researchers found that cats are able to distinguish their names from other random sounds. Which clearly means that, yes, your cat is just choosing not to respond to your calls to come hang out.
So our belief that cats are the sassiest pet alive is true!
