Today, I'd like to share with you the latest research on the Internet, "cats actually know the names of other cats". Research teams from the University of hemp and Kyoto University in Japan have proved through experiments that cats living at home know the names of other cats living in the same family, which means that cats do have the ability to know the things around them.
The special researcher of the project, "Takagi Sabao", said that this experiment also comes from his love for cats. In addition, this is the first study to prove to what extent cats can understand and learn human language
Then, the experimental process of this project is to apply the psychological research method of human infants, which means playing a picture, sound or vocabulary to the subjects. When the subjects do not understand the received message, they will pay attention to the message for a long time.
In the same way, the team wanted to know if cats could understand the names of other cats living together
The experiment selected 19 cats to participate in the test. They live in families with an average of more than three cats.
When the names of cats in the same family appear in the sound, but different cats are displayed on the screen, the subjects' cats spend an average of more than 1 second watching the picture than when the pictures sound the same. Therefore, the researchers determined that the cats know the names of other cohabiting cats
Many netizens also said that their cats do know things. For example, when they call their names, although they may not be able to talk to people, they will blink or move their ears, indicating that they have indeed received the message. The owner knows that the cat can understand it without doing any experiments.
It's just that being obedient is another matter XD
