Montreal researcher aims to answer age-old question: does your cat really love you?

A Montreal researcher is studying the bond between cats and their owners to determine if cats genuinely love their humans. The study involves observing cat behavior and reactions to their owners. Preliminary findings suggest that cats show affection in ways similar to dogs, such as purring and kneading. These behaviors may indicate attachment, challenging the belief that cats are more aloof. The research aims to provide insights into feline emotions and strengthen the human-animal bond.
