On Halloween, Irish peasants would beg the rich for food. For those that refused, they would play a practical joke. So, in an effort to avoid being tricked, the rich would hand out cookies, candy, and fruit – a practice that morphed into trick-or-treating today.

Many cats learn to use an urgent, high-frequency meow to manipulate people into feeding or paying attention to them.

fuckyeahfacts:

The meow in question is actually a mix of a purr and a cry, and felines usually only use it with their owners, who struggle to ignore it.Researchers recorded 10 versions of this purr-cry, and even when they played them for non-cat owners, the participants were made uncomfortable and recognized the urgency.

Not all cats develop this manipulative meow, and it is more frequently found in felines who have intense relationships with their owners.

 The purr-meow is the etiology of cricket’s name. There is no way to ignore it.
