For example. cats do this with their ears. bodies and sounds. Sometimes they simply want our attention, while other times. they are telling us. "My food bowl is empty. "

I have one cat. He tells me different things. For example .when his food bowl is empty. he lets out a bowl. When he is hungry and doesn't find food to eat, he climbs onto the table and walks on it. He jumps up on my computer desk-or my lap and cries to let me know that one of the other cats is picking on him.

New research shows that 67 % of people think they understand what their pets want or need.
