…Their Own Names "Plenty of cat owners will happily tell you their felines are capable of responding to their own names, but the scientific jury remains ambivalent on the matter. A fascinating new experiment suggests this might actually be true for some cats, and it's a capacity very much tied to the social environment in which the cat lives. Dogs are amazing at recognizing their own names, but scientists are less certain about whether cats have this ability. New research from Sophia University in Tokyo, Japan offers new experimental data showing that some cats really can discern their names. The new research, published today in Scientific Advances, doesn't mean cats understand the human conception of a name, but it does show that at least some cats can distinguish their names from other words…."

Might or might not know their names, but they certainly know the tone of the voice… |

Seems like a waste of time & money. Not to the ones doing the research. |

They know their names. They just don't care.
Unlike dogs, who care a great deal. |

This could lead to a chink in their armor, and human-kind becoming unburdened from their dependency and enslavement to the feline species. More study is needed………. |
