This is not only a cat... This is not only a cat...
This is not only a cat...

... she read minds!! :) Researchers at the University of Sussex have discovered that cats use a "soliciting purr" to overpower their owners and garner attention and food. Unlike regular purring, this sound incorporates a "cry", with a similar frequency to a human baby's. The team said cats have "tapped into" a human bias - producing a sound that humans find very difficult to ignore. news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8147566.stm
