Cats Meow More Than Twice as Much at Men, And We Can Only Guess Why — www.sciencealert.com/…
Cats meow more at owners who are men than women, new research has found, possibly because men tend to be more aloof when it comes to giving their pets attention.
…
"Our results showed that cats vocalized more frequently toward male caregivers, while no other demographic factor had a discernible effect on the frequency or duration of greetings," write the researchers in their published paper.
A total of 22 different behavior types were looked at by the researchers, including yawning (often a sign of cat stress) and food-related behaviors (including heading to their food bowl). The vocalizations were the only behaviors that changed based on the owners' sex.
And with the women… no simple ‘Yes, dear’ said in any of its many possible permutations will help you.
I thought that after all of our doomscrolling it might be good for some of us to kick back and chuckle at our foibles.
This is what sets us apart from Trump & Co. Our egos are strong enough that we CAN laugh at ourselves.
Stay safe, everyone.
