A study was done that claimed that cats have learned the art of meowing. There is a certain type of meow that can attract humans to take the cat in. Even though cats do not have a specific langauge, they have learned to sound pleasant when meowing. Nicholas Nicastro, a graduate student who is working under a psychology professor, says that the cats that sound angry are seen to be too demanding and the ones that are pleasant to the ear are more likely to be picked by people that go to an animal shelter to adopt a cat.
