Do cats meow in accents? Scientists investigate mysteries of cat communication

How do cats communicate with humans? Scientists from the University of Lund, Sweden, hope to answer this question, as they embark on a five year-long project, Meowsic, to study feline language.

Cats were domesticated over 10,000 years ago, and during that long period, communication with humans has never ceased to evolve. However, scientists still do not really understand what motivates cat vocalisation and how they establish and maintain contact with their human friends.
