What is the personality of a cat?

Cats never think of themselves as their master’s retainers

Some people think that compared with dogs, cats are a bit willful and do their own thing. Most people who think this way don’t know much about cats’ habits. Originally, cats are animals that like to act alone, unlike dogs, which obey the orders of their owners and act in groups.

Therefore, it does not regard its master as a monarch, but obeys orders. Sometimes, no matter how you call it, it pretends not to hear you. Cats and their owners do not have a master-slave relationship. It is better to think of them as equal friends. It is this kind of relationship that makes it uniquely charming.

·Looks "cool", but actually loves to act coquettishly

On the other hand, cats regard their owners as parents and love to act coquettishly like children. When they feel lonely, they will climb onto their owners' knees. , or jump to sit on an open newspaper anywhere, showing off your coquettishness. Many people can't do anything about it.

·Clean your own fur often

Kittens love to lick their bodies and clean themselves most of the time. After meals, it will wipe its beard with its front paws, lick its anus with its tongue after urinating, and lick its fur with its tongue after being held. This is the kitten removing the odor and dirt from its body. There are many rough little protrusions on the cat's tongue, which are the most suitable tools for removing stolen goods.

·Licking the body to relax

But if you observe the kitten carefully, you will find that the kitten also licks the body when nothing happens. In other words, kittens like to lick their bodies, and licking their bodies is a relaxing exercise. Kittens often fall asleep after being thoroughly licked.

It should be noted that kittens will lick their bodies vigorously when they feel nervous and stressed. If they lick too vigorously, they will lose hair and become bald. At this time, you should pay attention to see if there are any difficulties in the kitten's life.

·On the high wall, walking gracefully and jumping lightly

Seeing the cat walking nonchalantly and jumping lightly on the high wall, I can't help but be impressed by its sense of balance. This is mainly due to the cat's outstanding reaction nerves and sense of balance.

It only needs to slightly change the position and height of its tail to achieve body balance, and then use the strong muscles and strong joints of its hind feet to jump nimbly, even if it falls in the air. Change your body position and land lightly and accurately.

·Good at climbing trees, but not good at falling

Although cats have developed motor nerves and are good at climbing high, they are not good at falling from the top. It can go up but cannot go down. It often leans back in fear while crawling down tremblingly. If the distance to the ground is short, it will jump down. If it is too high, it will tremble, as if it were afraid of heights.

·Fully stretched, an authentic hunting posture

Even a full cat will not be able to restrain itself from attacking moving mice, cicadas, and locusts. impulse. And not only can it be caught, it also uses the trick of playing hard to get against dying insects. The cat's hunting posture is generally to crawl towards the prey, suddenly stand up and jump, scratch with its front paws, and bite with sharp teeth. Especially if the cat's mother is good at hunting, the tendency of "her son to inherit the mother's business" is stronger. However, even if the offspring of a "famous hunter" leave their parents immediately after birth, they will still know nothing about hunting.

·Calmly accept the prey presented to you

When a cat respectfully presents prey to its owner, it is often difficult to handle. Especially female cats have a stronger tendency to meow non-stop, which is tolerable. When the cat is triumphant and triumphant with the prey in its mouth, the owner can accept it calmly and then dispose of it quietly and quickly when the cat cannot see it.

·A cat’s beard can detect everything

A cat’s beard grows on both sides of its mouth, eyes, cheeks, chin, etc. The roots of the beard are covered with nerves, and they can detect the slightest movement. It is said that they can feel the brush of 2 milligrams of things, and they can even know the airflow and wind direction.

It is rare to hear that a cat will bump into something or miss something while looking around. This is all due to the cat's beard - this excellent ruler.

·Cut off the beard and the cat will lose vitality

If you trace the beard in these four places with a pen, a circle will appear that is larger than the face. Cats use this circle of whiskers to judge whether they can pass through small places.

So if you cut off half of the cat's beard, it is absolutely not possible. The cat will become sluggish and lifeless.

·The "meow" sound with rich connotations

The cat's "miao, miao" cry has various intonations and tones, and can accurately express emotions. If the cat stares directly at the owner's face and meows loudly, it means it is hungry; if it lengthens its voice coquettishly, it means it is dissatisfied; after the requirements are met, the cat's meowing becomes quieter.

·Communicate with cats

A cat’s meow can not only convey information, but also express emotions, so the owner can understand it and communicate with it through observation and judgment.

There are many kinds of cats, some are loud-mouthed, and some love to be silent. We cannot generalize them. If you get along with them for many years, you will be able to understand every word they say.

·Rushing against people is a sign of affection

The so-called "cat body language" is that cats use their ears, tail, fur, mouth, and body to express their moods and desires. . If a cat is tired of being at people's feet or beside you, rubbing its head against you is a sign of affection. If a cat rubs a smell secreted from its mouth onto you, it means that it wants to take you for itself. If the cat purrs from its throat, it means it is in a good mood. If the cat bends its front feet inward like a duck hatching eggs, it means it is at ease and dependent.

·When attacking, adopt a "cool" posture

Have you ever woken up from a lazy nap in the morning and nuzzled your cat affectionately? This is the cat saying "hello" and "good morning" to greet you. On the contrary, when a cat is angry or attacking, its ears are bent back, its hair is erect, its body is low, and its tail is erect.

If you understand this body language, you will be able to communicate more closely with the cute cat.

Let’s talk about dogs:

The reason why humans are closer to dogs is largely because of dogs’ understanding and loyalty to their owners, because dogs are more affectionate than cats. It is a generally recognized fact that dogs can understand human moods and express their emotions to people. For example, a dog will put its head on the owner's knee to show affection, or lift its front feet and put them in the human's hand to show friendship, or its ears will droop behind, slowly crawl behind the owner, and sit in front of the owner with its body Trembling and stretching out its front legs means that it is expressing remorse to its owner for doing something bad, etc. So, where does the ability of dogs to express emotions to people come from? Lorenz believes that this ability has little to do with the dog's instinct. This ability of dogs is acquired through learning in their interactions with people. Dogs also have another emotional expressive ability, which is the expressive ability they show when expressing emotions with their own kind. This ability to express is mainly instinctive. The brilliance of dogs is that they can strictly distinguish between emotional expressions that are suitable for two different types of emotional appeal objects. Look at the latter. Dogs understand human nature, which is especially reflected in the dog's ability to understand human gestures or language. The dog's ability to understand people is not mainly due to its instinct, but the result of learning. Dogs "also learn to understand human expressions or language." When it comes to understanding human expressions or language, dogs have far better talents than other animals. No matter how great apes are superior to dogs in other skills that show intelligence, dogs understand human language better than apes.

Although these are not entirely habits, I think this is the difference between cats and dogs that we need to know
