THE GODS HAVE spoken. Word has come down from on high that there is no way for a human being to understand what a cat is saying when it meows. So declareth the scientific comumity, after a study which has to be accurate, because it was done properly, without bias.
Recordings were made of different cats meowing in different situations; when scared, surprised, happy, and so forth. People were brought in and invited to interpret or translate what the various cats said, and nobody could do it, not even once. Therefore, it can't be done. Nobody ever really knows what his or her cat is saying, even if owner and cat have been together decades, not even if the owners try to tell you they they can, and then demonstrate.
The scientific consenses within the scientific community has been formed. There's only one problem.
Its pure rubbish, and anybody who has a cat knows it. I have three cats, and i know exactly what they are telling me, each and every time they speak, which is often..
The only way to know what your cat is saying is to be there, to be involved in teh situation, to understand the context, what is happening when the animal speaks. Then, its easy.
And again, there are tens of millions of cat owners in america alone who know this. doubtless millions more, all around teh world know it too. so, the scientific community is gonna take a lot of flack on this, as well it should.
just one more indication that, indeed, science is not perfect. far from it. but at least its self correcting, so, beyond doubt, there will come a time when mainstream science figures it out, figures out what we cat owners already know.
