Cat's manipulate humans!

Researchers say that cats use purring to manipulate humans into feeding them by changing their purr to a similar frequency as a baby's cry

Sounds like mind control to me!

I fill my cats's bowl whenever they come up to me and meow. 2009-07-13 23:33:00

Cats were once worshiped as gods in Egypt, and they never forgot it :/.2009-07-13 23:39:00

LOL - this explains a lot about my cats behavior very late at night (attention) and very early in the morning (food)....... I already knew I was regarded as "staff" for the cat but this is another example that they really do own us. 2009-07-14 00:00:00

One of our cats is constantly meowing at me for food! His stomache is like a bottomless pit!!

Apparently when a cat purrs it is healing itself. Maybe that's how they get to have nine lives.

You know.... cat's give so much. I don't even know where me and my wife would be without our cats. If they need to play upon our emotions by sounding like a human baby to get their chow.... well, that's fine with me!2009-07-14 13:59:00

Same, I have three, but one of them is basically like a brother to me. He is 15 years old, and I have had him since he was just a kitten. He is perceptive and acts almost human-like sometimes. I treat him like gold though.

Oh, that's cool, did he grow up with you? I would have loved to have a cat/dog sibling twin :O

I'm a couple years older than he is, but basically yes, he did grow up with me. I don't really remember getting him.
