The Science of Winning Your Cat's Love

Scientists from Paris Nanterre University conducted a study in a cat cafe to determine the best way to attract cats. They found that cats responded most quickly to human strangers when they offered vocal and visual cues together, like calling their name while reaching out their hand. When the human ignored the animals completely, they were more likely to wag their tail - a sign of frustration or agitation. The researchers hope their findings will improve the quality of human-cat relationships and cat welfare.
