Celia and Mr Spangles watching a zoom meeting
Have you noticed how often humans talk to us? They seem to assume we understand human talk.
Which we don't.
But human talk does interest us. Their blah-blah-blah comes in different tones of voice. We certainly recognise an angry tone of voice from a loving tone of voice.
We also recognise various words. Like our names. When I hear the word, "George" I know it means something special is coming up ... like food, or strokes, or just attention.
I love being the centre of my human's attention. Mostly attention means eye gaze in my direction: a laugh: a slow blink: and perhaps more blah-blah-blah in a baby sounding voice.
What about the "vet" word. Well, I recognise it but not all cats do. I make myself scarce. Under the bed is the best place because she can't get me out!
In this household, we definitely find cats respond to positive voice tones :D
