A new study of Japanese scientists suggests that the ability to purr and voice communication can have a genetic basis.

Researchers from the Center for Kyoto University’s Wildlife Study have discovered a possible genetic connection between the purring of domestic cats and the differences of androgen receptor gene. According to Sciencex, the results of the study indicate that cats with a short version of this gene show a clearer tendency to purr and voice communication with humans.

The study was attended by 280 castrated or sterilized poor cats living in the homes of their owners. Scientists reviewed animal behavior, collected DNA samples and reviewed the androgenic receptor gene, which also compares to the relevant Gens to other cat family representatives.

According to the results, cats with a short type of gene that are more frequently cleaned and have shown greater vocality in communicating with humans, especially men. At the same time, women with the same versions of the gene more often show invasion of strangers.

It is interesting -friendly the differences of genetic can also be linked to educational conditions: researchers suggest that cats with a long gene variant -mostly thorough -voice communication needs less, unlike purebred and saving former street animals.

Compared to 11 other cat family species, such as leopard cat and cat-fish, scientists have found that it is domestic cats with a unique long choice for the Androgen receptor gene. This may indicate evolutionary changes associated with domestication and selection.

According to the researchers, these conclusions can be used to predict the features of animal behavior based on genetic data, which will open up new opportunities for animal care and increase their excellent -being. In the future, the team plans to expand studying with other cat family representatives.

“We strive to deepen the understanding of cats and do the relationship between them and the people better,” the emergency of the study of the Yuma Okamoto was completed.

We remind you, earlier it was reported that cats recognized those with -the smell.

Cats cover 1,500 km and go home two months after disappearing
