Scientists observed 20 domesticated cats in their homes for eight months to monitor how the animals recognized and responded to different voices - both strangers' voices and the cats' owners - calling out the cats' names.
The study found that 50 percent to 70 percent of the cats turned their heads at the sound and 30 percent moved their ears - typical reactions to hearing any sound.
Just 10 percent of the felines responded to being called by meowing or moving their tails.
In other words, your cat hears you when you call - he just doesn't care enough to acknowledge it.
