Household cats exercise this control with a certain type of urgent-sounding, high-pitched meow, according to the findings.

"<SPAN id="lw_1247515795_2" class="yshortcuts">Solicitation</SPAN> purring is probably more acceptable to humans than overt meowing, which is likely to get cats ejected from the bedroom."
