Does a cat recognize its name?
All of us who live with cats know almost with certainty the answer to whether a cat understands its name, when it is called.
But now science confirms it with a recent study from the University of Tokyo and that has been published in the journal of Scientific Reports, in which it is confirmed that cats identify their name, within a context or phrase, with other words.
To a group of domestic cats, recordings were made in which several people participated to make them, including their owners.
During the course of these recordings where nouns and names were mixed, the cats showed attention when hearing the human voices, but lost interest as they continued.
However, the vast majority, showed attention, at the time that their name was said. They turned their heads, stood up, even leaned forward, and some even made a sound.
It is possible that their name is associated with prizes, rewards or a word that connects them especially with their human, that is why they are able to memorize it and react to them.
Scientists also found that cats reacted to the names of the cats they lived with.
As you can see, there are names for all tastes. It’s a matter of you putting a little imagination and creativity into it.
It is also good that you observe the traits and behavioral characteristics of your cat, they can give you clues to baptize it with the appropriate name.
