Shoooooooot. Well, that ruins the dramatic moment. XD

I think the title of the article is making the link not work. Damn.

Well, if you look at Science News' website, look up, " "%&#$!" makes you feel better" and that should bring it up. It's also one of the articles on the homepage, if the search doesn't work, either. XD

Well I certainly believe the thing about cats purring in certain ways to get us to do there bidding. My cat Pewter has been a master of that technique for years now.

Like the saying goes. "Dogs have masters, Cats have staff."

OMG !!!
Creepy...
My cat meows in different ways when she wants different stuff.
Like, for an example, she meows in slightly higher pitch when she wants someone to open the door so she can go out.
