According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, "Cats are able to control their humans by emitting a high-pitched "solicitation" cry - embedded in a purr - that is so annoying it can't be ignored" (Sept 18)

A colleague noted that this will be useful as a great example of negative reinforcement in action. Claudia J.
