"The Science Behind Cats' Fascination with 'Pspsps'"
The reason why cats respond to the sound "Pspsps" is not scientifically proven, but experts have theories. One theory suggests that the high frequency and staccato nature of the sound grabs a cat's attention. Another theory suggests that the sound resembles prey or other noises that cats pay attention to. It's also possible that cats have been inadvertently trained to associate the sound with positive experiences. The term "Pspsps" may have originated from a truncation of the phrase "Here, pussy, pussy, pussy."
