The cat is "hypnotized", and the cat arches its back quietly and obediently as if it has been tapped, and tucks its tail between its legs; the cat is afraid of being injured, and is afraid that if it moves erratically, the owner will not be able to catch it, and it will easily fall. ; The cat is very scared and feels insecure; the cat’s belly is exposed and it is afraid of being attacked; it thinks it is being carried by its mother; it is a conditioned reflex.

The cat was "hypnotized"

There is a famous experiment called "clip hypnosis." Just use a clamp to clamp the back of the cat's neck. The cat will quietly and obediently arch its back and put its tail between its legs, as if it is being hypnotized. So when the owner pinches the back of the cat's neck and lifts it up, the cat will remain motionless as if it is hypnotized.

Cats are afraid of getting hurt

Cats are very weak. When the owner lifts the back of the cat's neck and lifts it to the same height as himself, the height is like us humans standing 6 stories high. The cat is afraid that if it moves around, its owner will not be able to catch it and it will easily fall. If it falls from such a high place, it may fall to death.

The cat is scared

Although cats are not afraid of heights, when someone lifts the back of their neck, their body has no point of strength at all, which makes the cat feel very insecure. Cats, like people, will not dare to move when they are scared or frightened. Some cats may also have blurred vision and limp body, turning into a straight line.

The cat’s belly is exposed

When a cat is lifted by the flesh behind its neck, its belly will be completely exposed. The belly is the most vulnerable part of a cat and is usually protected. Exposing it will make the cat feel insecure and especially afraid of being attacked. Therefore, when they are lifted up, they will pay special attention to the condition of their stomachs and will not move around again.

I thought I was being carried by my mother

When cats are young, the mother cat will bite the back of the cat's neck to move them. When the meat on the back of the neck is pinched, cats will think that their mother is holding them in their mouths, and then they will retract their hands and feet, and their tails will be sandwiched between their hind legs, staying motionless to make it easier for their mothers to walk.

Conditioned reflex

I mentioned just now that when cats were young, their mothers would often bite the flesh on the back of their necks and move them around. At this time, they would usually stay still. This is a habit. Over time, such movements will become deeply felt.Imprinted in my mind. When someone lifts its neck, it will form a conditioned reflex and become motionless.
