Hello Kitty!

I have always maintained that cats are evil. The whole black-cat-witchcraft thing doesn't bother me so much. The suggestion that cats creep into baby's cribs and steal their breath seems like an urban myth, but I wouldn't put it past any feline. No, instead I am constantly put off by the way cats give off this impression that they don't need anyone, when nothing could be farther from the truth. Cats may be related to the fiercest and most solitary creatures on the planet, but your common house cat is never going to be confused with the King of the Jungle. They rely on us in the most desperate ways.
According to the findings of a new study, household cats exercise control over us with a certain type of urgent-sounding, high-pitched meow. People usually think of cat purring as a sign of happiness. Some cats make this sound when they want to be fed. Some cats make this sound when they want money. The study showed that humans find these mixed calls annoying and difficult to ignore.
Previous studies have shown similarities between cat cries and human infant cries. Would you ignore your own child if they were begging you for tuna? For chicken? For liver? Please deliver. Scientists also tell us that the sound is "less harmonic and thus more difficult to habituate to." You can't tune it out and they know it. And it doesn't matter if you're a "cat person" or not. The study showed that even people who didn't own cats were bothered by the noise. But all cats don't make this sound. It's the ones who live close to people. They get close to us. They know us. They want to control us.
That's why the Egyptians worshipped them. They brought them inside, and that's when they started taking over. Eventually, cats were getting the same treatment as King Tut. Steve Martin knew. He knew the boy king and he knew what a threat his cat could be. And now, scientists have proof. I could go on and on, but right now my dog is whining at me to go out.
