That was probably true with our cat. It was very 'talkative' when I came home. It also definitely distinguished between men and women, prefering to sit on the lap of women, preferably old ones.

Because our cat knows who the big softie is when asking for snacks (not me the woman of the house, who is more concerned that kittie will get too fat to fit through her cat door).

What the cats really are saying is 'unshaved human alert, unshaved human alert'.

In my house the occupants are divided into fur-faces, and bare-faces.

That could be the answer right there: kinship.

Is it because men don’t listen?

They are not.
