Cats understand their owners.. but they don't care

Are you the type of person that speaks to your cat? Did you know that they listen and understand but they just don't care?

A study that was conducted in a University in Tokyo has published in an Animal journal that they have figured out and concluded that by studying 20 cats for 8 months. 
What they did was they made each and every cat listen to voice recordings of 4 people, 3 of random strangers and its owner just calling his or her name. After observing those cats, researchers have discovered that 15 out of the 20 cats had increased response to the owner's voice. 

So that means that your cat does know who you are when listening, but here is where he/she is not interested anymore. Paw nation then reports :

"These results indicate that cats do not actively respond with communicative behaviour to owners who calling them from out of sight, even though they can distinguish their owners voices."

Dog stabbed and crushed by a metal pole in Egypt

The video of this dog was extremely popular on social media, showing the harsh and brutal killing of a dog in Alharam Giza.

In the video, the dog is surrounded by men holding knives and they are stabbing the dog. The dog's barking sounds were echoing through the streets of Giza.

The dog was shortly killed, when a man crushed his body and his skull with a large metal pole.

Social media users say that the owner of the dog had let him loose on eight men. In order to not go to prison, the men demanded to kill the dog. Even though he refused at first, later the owner surrendered his dog, leading to the tragic event.

The Egyptian Society for Mercy to Animals has made a complaint about the men responsible for the harsh act to be brought to justice.

In response to the complaint the court sentenced the four men accused for torturing the dog to three years in prison with labor.

In sympathy with the dog, social media users tried to raise awareness of this horrific incident by using thr hashtag #Dog_of_Alahram_Street
