www.barkandwhiskers.com/2024-04-02-can-cats-recognize-their-owners-voiceStory at-a-glance A recent study shows that big cats (e.g., lions, tigers, cheetahs, leopards, cougars) have the remarkable ability to distinguish familiar from unfamiliar human voices When tested, the cats responded more quickly, intensely, and for longer durations to familiar vs. unfamiliar voices According to the researchers, the cats’ ability to tell the difference between familiar and unfamiliar human voices could have significant implications for their welfare and interactions with caregivers A 2022 study demonstrated that pet cats respond most intensely to their humans’ (but not strangers’) “kitty voices” vs. their normal voices A study published in 2013 revealed that your favorite feline shares over 95% of his or her DNA with tigers, despite having split apart on the evolutionary tree almost 11 million years ago My notes: Our cats know our voices & if somebody else is around, they tend to hide. They'll come out with our voices. Have you seen this too?

Oh yeah! Ours recognize our voices. Certain words. Their names.
