Even when they leave, they still are there. Happy Caturday. 🐈⬛👀
Your cat is probably keeping track of where you are, even if your feline friend isn't in the same room with you and can't see you.
The cats acted surprised when the familiar voice came from a location that they didn't expect, based on what they had already heard. This suggests that cats spatially orient their unseen human companions using audio cues — a cognitive ability that was previously unknown in felines.Knowing that something continues to exist even if it's out of sight is called object permanence, and it's a test that researchers use to measure animal intelligence.
For the new study, they decided to test cats using audio signals because cats are known for their exceptional hearing and are capable of finding hidden prey under conditions of low visibility."Indeed, cats appear to be good at inferring physical and social presence from sounds," the authors wrote. For their experiments, they placed cats into three groups; each group was split in two depending on where the cats lived, either at cat cafés or in domestic homes. Cat groups listened to a different combination of sounds: Group one heard recordings of caregivers or strangers calling their names; group two listened to sounds of other cats; and group three heard random electronic noises.
