A recent study suggests that the pets have the ability to associate words with specific objects or images even faster than human infants do. The research led by Saho Takagi, cognitive scientist from Abazu University in Japan and the lead author of the study, suggested that cats might be "hard-wired" to learn aspects of human language.
