After identifying the real-life tones that Sylvester may have been muttering to Tweety
Bird, the researchers were able to show that the vocalizations of cats in different
situations could be identified by humans. When played 12 recordings of cats meowing
while either waiting for food or waiting for the vet, humans were significantly better than
chance at determining which predicament each mog was in. This suggests there may be
more to human–cat communication (charmingly named “meowsic” by the researchers)
than you might think.
In 2021 some scientists won the prize for a series of 5 papers. These studies logged the
differencesin the acoustic variations in purring between four different domesticated cats
and explored the variations in feline vocalization further, before producing a preliminary
taxonomy of the vocalizations of cats observing prey through a window.
Why these scientists are in the headlines of world news now?

A Rosewater dish is a ceremonial platter or basin used after eating
to catch rosewater poured from warm or cold ewers over the hands
to wash them, which was a daily ceremony in England. Later, such
dishes were used for display only. A salver (Latin salva, save from
risk) was originally used by food tasters who tested food for
poison. A rosewater dish was considered a salver by extension.
These dishes were made of pewter, silver, or gold.
