Your cat might not be dramatic. He might just be yelling because the men in the house are not listening.
New research suggests cats actually meow louder at men, simply because men tend to ignore their subtle cues more often. So your cat turns up the volume to make sure he’s heard.
It is not sass. It is communication. Cats adjust their voice depending on who they are talking to, and apparently men need a little extra effort.
Scientists say this proves how intelligent and adaptable cats really are. They learn our habits, notice what works and change their behavior to get their message across.
So if your cat screams at the guys in your home, now you know. He is not misbehaving. He is just trying to speak their language.
