So it has finally been confirmed by Dr Karen McComb of Sussex University that cats exploit people (http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/jul/13/cats-purr-food-research). The evil felids have apparently learned to 'hide' otherwise irritating cries for food within 'pleasurable' purring. This results in the poor, targeted human having a sense of urgency triggered in their brain so that they feel compelled to hand over food. I never did trust those sneaky moggies!
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.

I get the disguised purr and the pawing.
They exploit! If you shave your cat, you will find that they have brown skin marking glands on their flanks, chin and near the eyes. When it rubs against you, whilst purring, it's marking your leg as part of its territory!
