viperxmns Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I wonder what if they did a similar study using identical twins Wonder if a cat would be able to discern which twin is speaking if they're used to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naraku360 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I don't know which is dumber: The thread title claiming "a level" of intelligence was discovered in an animal widely considered pretty intelligent, or people somehow getting bodied by fucking Packard of all people because a month ago was being arbitrarily deemed not current. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobdog Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 It’s actually a fairly old study. People have known for years that cats recognize the voices of their owners an respond to them differently than with people they are not familiar with.

It was about spacial recognition based on sound. They used an owners voice as comparison to other sounds. It wasn't a way of determining that the cat can recognize the owner's voice.
