Why is the cat raised by your parents more obedient?

There are two types of cats in the world: one is a cat raised by the elderly, and the other is other cats.

Speaking of the biggest difference between the two cats, the cats of the old people are really too good.

Many netizens have a physical fit for this:

The "inverse" of my own family is daily continuous not allowed to touch, intermittent, and bitten; canned food, frozen and dry, snacks, but all kinds of picky eaters; Brushing your teeth is even more extravagant. If you don't make a cat, you will never let you do your best.

Before young people raised cats, fantasies raised a soft cute cat to soothe themselves, but they did not expect that they were beaten by kittens after raising cats.

However, this kind of unruly kitten has been ironing and ironing as soon as it arrives in the hands of the elderly masses, and even to a good degree of beckoning and waved. Not only do you hold it, but even the operation of cutting nails and brushing teeth is super difficult, the old people do handy.

This is really "it is good for the years to raise a cat and chicken, the elderly to raise cats."

It is also a cat. How do you look like two species in the hands of the old man and us? As soon as a person goes to age, does it automatically unlock a hidden road taming?

Who raises the cat like who is like

Pets with the owner, this conclusion is proven by research.

Lauron Fenca, a animal welfare researcher at the University of Notting Hanterert, once led the research team to solicit and investigate the relationship between more than 3,000 cats and their owners, trying to explore the relationship between the personality of the owner and the cat they raised.

Their research team measures cats and owners with five personality characteristics, and evaluates their pleasure, seriousness, extroverts, nervousness, and openness. The research team first scored these five characteristics of the cat owner. They found that according to the cat owner's score, they can accurately judge their cat's character.

For example, the cat owner who scored higher in the "nervous" characteristics, their cats are more magical than other kittens, such as a certain aggression, anxiety and stressful behavior, and cats are more timid; If the cat owner scores higher in "extroverted", their cats are often more lively, more pro -society, and have more outdoor free activity time.

As Fenka explained in the research report:

"Pets are likely to be influenced by our pet interaction and management methods, and these two factors will in turn reflect our personality characteristics."

Why is this so?

Because cats are like human cubs, they have the ability to imitate.

The evolution of cats retains their learning ability. During the long -term getting along with the owner, cats will observe the owner's behavior habits and even emotions, learn digestion in imitation, and then become cat's character. As Daniel Gann Moore said:

"They are conscious creatures, which are strongly affected by people around them. They are closely linked with their owners, and they have influence each other ... Cats are a mini version of cats."

Everything that cat owners do will affect their cats; everything that cats show are also feedback from the character characteristics of the owner.

Looking at the behavioral characteristics of the old people and the cat -raising mode, you can understand why grandparents can often raise more good cats.

The older people in their lives are relatively slow in their lives, and they have less noise. The old people will not chase the cats and kiss the cats all day long like a cat, so the cats around the elderly are negatively stimulated by the cats. Small, have a similar quiet personality.

The best love is to let go

Moreover, compared to most workers who need to get along with cats a few hours a day. The retired elderly and cats get along much. The more like a master.

In addition, any good cat cannot be separated from human training and guidance. According to the theory of animal behavior, the key to training cats is to repeat, reward and punish. Moreover, the training process emphasizes gradual steps, and it is necessary to slowly adjust the cat's behavior with positive and negative feedback at the moment, which requires full patience and plenty of training time.

At this point, the elderly naturally have related advantages.

The elderly can raise a more well -behaved kitten.

So, if there is no (good temper) an old man to raise, can you have a well -behaved kitten?

"The way of Cat", which is easy to pass,

Humans have spent thousands of years trying to "domesticate" cats, but unlike dogs know how to recognize the Lord, humans and cats are more like "roommate relationships". Don't believe you ask the shoveling officer around you: Do you think the cat you raised really tamed with you?

The answers I got would probably have: tame, but it didn't seem to be convinced.

Is there a simple and efficient way to have a kitten that is more tamed and not demolished?

The cat is not good, and it is more or less written on the "two -phase and one color": face, claws and hair color.

Let's talk about face -to -face. Kit Jenkins, head of the Petsmart project of the American pet charity, has more than 20 years of practical experience in animal shelters. She believes that they can see their personality from the face of cats because their character and bones are also affected by hormones.

She summarizes that cat's face usually has three basic types: square, circular and triangular. Each has a unique set of personality characteristics: square faces kittens are often very affectionate, like to hug and hit friends with their heads;

Round -faced kittens are more obedient, very gentle to those who trust, but they are also easily frightened. They are relatively poor, and they don't move well;

Triangular face kitten is very active, curious about everything, and smart.

As for the relationship between claw phase and personality, a hand phaate enthusiast named "Mr. 暁" in Japan has analyzed the shape of thousands of cat pads of the front paw meat. After a lot of analysis, he found the relationship between the cat's meat pad and his personality. Essence He divided the cat's front paw pads into 13 types in five categories, which roughly:

The top of the palm ball of the type A meat pad is a caring shape. The cat with such meat pads is cheerful and likes to interact with humans.

The top of the palm ball of B -shaped meat pads is round. This kind of cat is energetic and very unrestrained, but at the same time has a certain independence, and will not always stick to the shoveling officer;

The top of the palm ball of the C -type meat pad is gentle, the bumps on both sides, slightly depressed in the middle, and obvious gully at the connection of the meat ball. This cat's personality is relatively cold, likes to quiet, and ignores daily shovel officers;

The top of the palm ball of the D -type meat pad is gentle, and the sides are slightly raised. There is no obvious gully at the connection of the meat ball. Most of the cat pad cats may be afraid of, and the courageous stranger cannot get close;

The entire palm of the E -type meat pad is triangular. In fact, there are not many kittens with E -type meat pads. They basically don't like humans very much.

Seeing the hair color to choose a docile kitten, it is easier.

After studying 1274 cats at the University of California, the University of California, found that the cat's hair color and temper had a certain relationship.

The results of the study show that the white -bottomed cats and black and white cow cats do not have a good temper, and they will also attacked people; and cats with dark stripes on the fur and the fur with solid color black, gray or white cats are relatively good.

However, these research methods are incomplete induction and reasoning, and have certain limitations. The research conclusions do not represent a direct causal relationship. How do you say, more or less meaning a little bit.

If you want to have a kitten, the important thing is to perform effective social training for cats.

The socialization of a cat refers to the process of learning how to identify the species that lives with it and interact with it.

Animal experts believe that the best time for cats is when they are two weeks to seven weeks. If you want to tame and raise a more well -behaved kitten, in this golden period, it is best to live with the cat or other siblings and ensure that you can interact with humans for more than 1 hour every day. Put cat comb, nail pliers, toys, etc. in places where kittens can come into contact. In short, it is to let them desensitize human beings and adapt to the living environment of living with humans early.

Now everyone knows how to choose and train a well -behaved kitten!

So, what about your cat?
