I think the scientist's statement is probably correct as far as the cat's perceived choice of a mate goes, but it fails to take into account the human selection factor. Cats with cute miaows are more likely to be chosen as pets and therefore are more likely to survive to adulthood to be able to produce kittens with cute miaows.
