Understanding Cat Communication
We've misunderstood our cats' communication for millennia. Despite their domestication, cats face challenges in articulating their feelings due to their non-vocal nature. This episode delves into cat behavior research, exploring the meanings behind their sounds, the timing of these vocalizations, their connection to body language, and the potential role of technology in understanding them.
