More Proof that Cats Rule the World

Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.

Why? Well, recent research indicates that many cats can put a bit of a human baby's cry into their purr - an 'insistant purr'; pet me now!

Since humans are biologically programmed to respond to a crying baby, we're also less likely to ignore a cat using this insistant purr. As if the big eyes and the fur weren't bad enough.

Sir Gridley, you are preaching to the choir. I didn't need a study to tell me my Siamese Cat rules, Even the dog is afraid of her.
She's named Cleopatra for a reason. :)
