I’m not backing the take itself, as other said it is widely extrapolation, but i don’t really understand how the fact that cats meowing only/mostly at their mom and humans would invalidate the theory that humans and cats are the same category in cats’ minds, since they use it for both cats and humans. It could indicate that they consider humans kinda like parents cats or just parents, maybe, but i don’t see how it indicates that they could consider humans as non cats.
I kind of am judging. Misrepresenting how science works and what it can and can’t do ia a dangerous game on the age of intentional misinformation. Even if you’re just trying to be cute and fun.
All I’ll say is cats meow at humans and they don’t meow at other cats except their own mom. To me this instantly defeats this take.
It’s just a fun post though so I’m not judging.
Cats meow at other cats besides their mother too. It’s a complete myth that they don’t.

You know what, you’re right, framing it as a “scientific discovery” isn’t cool.
