BBC News | SCI/TECH | Evolution of supercats


Anyone who has ever owned a cat will know that there is no limit to feline charm.
But now a US psychologist has come up with evidence that nature is giving a helping hand.
Nicholas Nicastro, of Cornell University, believes moggies are evolving into supercats that are better able to exploit humans.

He says cats have learned what buttons to press to please their owners after 5,000 years of living with us. Apparently, it is all down to the miaows they choose to get want they want.

The rewards are clear - more pampering, tastier food and a seat in the comfiest chair. But not all scientists are convinced.
