BODY LANGUAGE IS FOREMOST
Most of a cat's ability to communicate comes from non-vocal gestures. This form of communication is another example of cats' ability to think and evidence of their being conscious. Professors Janet and Steve Alger conducted a study published in the academic journal Society and Animals (Vol. 5 No. 1), "Beyond Mead: Symbolic Interaction between Humans and Felines." The Algers studied 20 cat owners and their cats looking for evidence of symbolic interaction between the two.
