Even cats know how hard it is to get men to pay attention to them. A new study found that cats meow more to men than to women. The reason? Guys just aren’t great listeners. According to the study, men "require more explicit vocalizations to notice and respond to the needs of their cats." For the experiment, researchers documented cat owners’ interactions with their cats when they got home. They found that cats greeted male owners with an average of 4.3 meows in the first 100 seconds, compared to just 1.8 meows for women. The study concluded that the women talked to their cats more, or mimicked their meows, and appeared to be "more skilled at interpreting feline vocalizations."
