Esteemed Keepers,

We interrupt your scheduled lounging to share urgent findings from the Human Scientific Journals™, because even mystery demands documentation.

Object permanence: We aren’t hallucinating when we know the human has left the room. A 2024 study from University of Sussex confirms cats possess Stage 4 object permanence, we know toys (and by extension, humans) still exist even when out of sight Read more

Tracking via voice: According to a PLOS ONE study (2021), we can mentally map our human’s location purely from their voice. Move speakers, watch our reaction. We’re not just ignoring you; we’re calculating your position Read more

Name + voice recognition: Research from University of Tokyo (2019) demonstrates we recognize our names and human voices with stronger reactions when you speak, even if we pretend not to Read more

Name–face pairing: Cats even associate names with faces, not just sounds. A 2022 Sci Rep study shows we expect a specific face when we hear a specific name Read more

Continue your sacred duties:

Lounge on the freshly laundered clothes.

Summon food with precisely timed meows.

Knock items purposefully, demonstrative artistry.

Humans are gloriously oblivious. Let them marvel.

Do you have more studies to share about that?

With whiskers raised, The Divine Keepers
