, a comparative psychologist at Oakland University in Michigan, says that may be because, unlike dogs, cats aren’t easily trained, and are often fearful in new situations—two factors that make experiments more challenging. Another roadblock may be the perception that cats are less social than other pets, Vonk says.
Recordings in hand, De Mouzon conducted the next stage of the experiments in the cats’ homes, where the animals were comfortable and would respond naturally. At each home, she played audio recordings of both the cat’s owner and strangers speaking the same phrases, while video recording the cat’s responses.
“It’s an indication that cats really can distinguish that the sound they’re hearing is relevant to them.”
Always kinda thought so.
Don’t most pets do that anyways 🥸
yay
but cant be bovvered
Are you saying cats know their owners?
Your voice! Pets can even recognise the voice of your vehicles!!
Like…was there ever any doubt?
Anyone who has ever owned a cat knew this already. Life is short. Don't waste mine. Report better.
Dumbest research article I ever read. Without them recognizing their master's voice how do you think that humans domesticated them?
Of course they do My cats know the sound of my truck pulling up too. They all come running to the front door. Every time
Duh 😝
Yes I can recognize my cat’s voice. All 3 have different sounds the oldest sounds like a duck when talking to me, my korat, make’s sounds like she is crying for mom, my youngest has a very deep voice and he talks to me everyday when he wants something.
My cat recognizes her name and responds to her name and her name only. I thought this was common knowledge
Why do you say that now as if it is new .. It always has been known.. for those whom have cats know that Empirical fact Logic got proven yet again
'I know it's you, I just don't care.'
WHAT THE F**K, IS THAT A F**KING CAT!!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Cat understands ,what we speak.
True! And many more!
My sheep recognize my voice to. I think every animal recognizes the voice of someone it's familiar with.
No one needed a study to know this.
Cats are great animals with a lot of different characters. If they trust you they can be your best friend.
Much like children.
I know my cat enjoying ignoring me more than anyone else. That's cat love.
Obviously....they'll respond to familiar voice. They come & snuggle when they find the voice familiar.
Cats❤️
Grrr-A-Cieeeee LoveStinksMovie
This is news? Do you think only humans communicate? This is embarrassing for you.
No shit.
Well, I don't think my cat does... because I outright do not use my voice with him...
He intentionally doesn't give a shit what you are saying...
Well yeah we knew that 😻
He can also recognize the sound of a can opener from upstairs...

'Twitterpated'I have created this account with the intention of not partaking on Twitter,Rather to gather the most followers based solely by my name'Twit'(a silly or foolish person) 'Emancipated'(free from legal, social, or political restrictions; liberated) You Like It? Follow.
if you've shared your home for 18 years with a feline you don't need a research project to confirm common knowledge that pets recognise your footfall & voice & respond by vocalising in return
Well of course they can.
That‘s right,, I have a cat named Luffy, he distingushes my voice from strangers , and is also very kind and friendly ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So what. My pet bird can recognize my voice and its name. And it speaks a few words that it actually understands. Please keep your cats indoors. Better for the cats. Better for native wildlife.
Yep. If I don't want her in the bathroom? I just snap my fingers and tell her 'go on'. She waits until I tell her it's okay to eat/drink. And, falls asleep on my chest.
WaldenE Of course they recognize your voice, they also can attach meaning to some words and recognize your moods.
Cool.
My cat saved my life, really... I am greatful forever for her sensibility
We need to be told this?
My cats both get excited when I get up, come home. They know how to communicate with me. I am especially one of their person, basically both of their person but one really likes everyone
He agrees
I can attest to this as being accurate. I was graced with a cat who would come when called by her name regardless of what was happening but my favorite time was when it was bedtime reading to my daughter. We’d call and she’d come and snuggle every single night. It was heaven. 🤗
Cats can recognize voice better then us humans )) cats are aliens for sure
Cats are like humans, different attitude and behavior. We know nothing about animals..
Amir can recognize your voice
100 percent they do!!!
That is an absolute certainty. Our cat can communicate with us and answer questions with certain meows. She also knows if one of us is feeling low and will get rather comedic to lighten the mood!
Yet when you die they’ll start eating pretty much right then😂
I know 🥲
I talk to my cat it seems to have a relaxing effect even up on any other room.
My cat is smarter than some humans I've met.
It's always so funny that ppl are surprised by this, or think it isn't real.
mlradle
Yes, I'm sure one of my cats really loves me. The other one kinda doesn't care.
🥰
this is common knowledge. our cat Freyja is a sweet loving animal but will only do tricks when I say to. Sit, talk at me, go lay down does them all. now if someone else does, she’ll puke in their shoes.
If you were to put looking after an cat under the microscope than it's strongly recommended to avoid expensive feed when the cat is pregnant. From personal experience with the Hills Diet was that subverting the position as midwife was as simple as an improvisation with the desk.
My cats love me. Each of my 4 legged babies loved me differently some more some less.
If you live alone with 10 cats....you're officially a weirdo..
That reputation was created by people who never owned cats. I've never had a cat that was not affectionate and even needy
Yes, it can .whenever I come back from college, I don't know where it will be. It comes running to me.
Of course they do. They just choose to ignore it.
After my dad passed away, my calico that's lived with him the past 20 yrs passed away two days after him.
I dunno, my cat probably doesn't even know he has a name because I don't speak to him
Cats are like people that only came over to your place because they couldn't get opera tickets.
Well a cats got ears and has very acute hearing so can obviously differentiate sounds.
Was excited to read but you have to give your email so they can send you sh!t
Yep,mine did.
They only seem to recognize a voice that calls them in an octave higher than a normal.... 'here kitty, kitty, kitty'
Cats aren't aloof or uncaring. They're just big on personal space and consent.
Post a video proof
Blimey they did a study, I could have told you that for nothing!!!!
✨
That looks like CC. Here she is playing fetch. Both my coons love fetch. Pebbles is a little better trained and knows more words and come when you whistle or call her. Pebbles dosen't leave my side and growls at intruders. She also likes to chew my shoes. Coons are different.
Cats are wonderful animals! They almost rival dogs as 'man's best friend'. God Bless, Mary Ann C.❤️
Just copying the Netflix documentary now
Yes, he can, he know he is the big boss in my home
Nice facts 💫
So true
Cutie
tapi seringan pura-pura budeg noh kalo dipanggil

Recognize yes. But mostly recognize and ignore.
Fact that we have to do research to proof cats care itself says a lot. Live them alone to live in wild and have a dog.
Some cats and dogs have the intelligence of small children, does your child know your voice?
I knew that..haha.
Of course she does. Why do humans always underestimate the intelligence of other animal species. Is it ego? Or is it they prefer ignorance is bliss so they can keep on mistreating the rest of the animal kingdom 🤔

My cat understands several words.
I once had hard time weighing Angela's babies until she passed me a box. I mean...tf?
They add a lot of fun to life!😅
Yeah cats are known to be selfish ones.. but my cat is attached to me ...
I have had many cats. I think that how attached a cat can get to humans, largely depends on the humans, the environment, and the cat itself. Obviously, a cat in New York City will have a relation to humans different from a cat living in the desert near a human settlement.
when will this absurd ignorant human race actually realize that ALL others species can talk, feel, think, plan, dream, and Love ? it is truly absurd to see tiny little humans and their exceedingly narrow bandwidth of alleged 'intelligence'. ? 👽👽👽👽👽👽
Mimi “loves” us!!!
Thank you this was my beautiful cat ... Here she was watching TV! catlovers cat AnimalLovers

Cats are much smarter and much more affectionate than people want to believe.
My cat talks to me and thinks I understand him. When I call him king Charlie he proudly tears through the house.
Why is this a surprise? Of course they recognize their humans voices. They understand actual words too. I feel like the people who do these kind of research/ article never had a relationship with an animal or they just want a catchy storyline lol.
That was Mr. Binx for sure. I miss him.
cats are the best friends of humanity
My cat totally recognises my voice!!!
Can confirm
My cat runs like hell if anyone besides us walks in the door. They can definitely hear and recognize us.
Greenland approves
