The truth about cats and dogs

I really got a giggle out of this research undertaken at the University of Tokyo: it seems (after an eight-month study of 20 animals) that cats actually do recognize their, uh, owner’s voices when they call. But they just don’t care.

The astounding thing about this study is that anyone felt the need to conduct it. All you’d have to do is ask a couple of feline-servants, and we’d have told you. For nothing.

Actually, I believe that Gary Larson nailed the whole cats/dogs vocal recognition thing 30 years ago. Tokyo researchers—I give you this for nothing, too.
