If you've ever wondered who's in control, you or your cat, a new study points to the obvious. It's your cat.

Household cats exercise this control with a certain type of urgent-sounding, high-pitched meow, according to the findings.

This meow is actually a purr mixed with a high-pitched cry. While people usually think of cat purring as a sign of happiness, some cats make this purr-cry sound when they want to be fed. The study showed that humans find these mixed calls annoying and difficult to ignore.

Okay, then we nuke the cats to?:D

Only if I can stab you first. Cats > Dogs.

Most people can't ignore cat cries because their minds are weak and easily controlled.

I like dogs. Less shedding, can be trained, and will play with you.

My cat's a real pain when it wants feeding. She just meows on and on and on until she gets fed (or kicked out). Consequently she's rather fat and got told she needed to go on a diet the other day. She really isn't happy :p

Can't say, cats control humans, but Sure when
cats are hungry they love to talk about it.
that's So sweet.

Sadly enough, I plan on having a furball eventually.

Make sure you buy a kitten. You can teach it new tricks involving NOT controlling you. Teach it while young, and you'll be granted as a master.
