Humans like to keep cats, but in terms of voice language, body language, and even some behavioral aspects, humans and cats are completely different creatures.

This "difference" can even be described as "completely opposite", because the difference is so great that no one can fully understand cats. Even humans often get along with cats because of the behavioral differences between the two. There were some misunderstandings.

For example, when your cat expresses love to you, it may be interpreted as contempt by the owner. So today I’d like to share with you three common misunderstandings between humans and cats, so that you can better understand your cat.

This is not contempt, it is an expression of love

You may not know that cats do not have smile muscles, so cats are not good at expressing their emotions with their faces. The only facial organ of a cat that can express emotions is the eyes. When a cat is excited, excited, or scared, the cat will All eyes will be wide open.

When cats lie down near their owners, they often have a bad face, such as looking at their owners with an expression on their faces and eyes slightly open.

To us humans, this kind of facial expression of a cat seems to mean that the cat is despising its owner, but it is not. As we said earlier, cats do not have smile muscles and are not good at expressing emotions with their faces, so we humans think A cat’s contemptuous face is actually the most relaxed expression of a cat.

Cats are naturally vigilant animals that can scare away a cucumber when they suddenly appear behind them. When they get along with you, they have the most relaxed expression, which can only mean that they love you.

If your cat blinks slowly at you when it "disdains" you, it is madly expressing love to you, because cats' blinking eyes are also called confession eyes.

Cats don’t cry

In some cat rescue videos, we can often see that when a cat eats food given by a kind person, its tears fall down. At this time, people will exclaim that the cat is spiritual and is moved when someone gives it food. cried, but that was not the case.

The first thing I want to tell you is that cats will not shed tears because they are "moved", because in the cat's world, there is no concept of "moved".

Cats shed tears when eating food because their saliva secretion controls nerves and is connected to their nasolacrimal ducts.

For a stray cat that has not eaten for a long time, when a kind person suddenly gives them meat or delicious cat food, the cat will feel it is very fragrant. At this time, the salivary nerves will secrete a large amount of saliva, because the cat’s salivary nerves and Nasolacrimal duct connected, so tears will flow out.

So if you find a cat crying when eating food, it must be that the food is too delicious and the cat is crying because of greed. In fact, it is the same as humans drooling crazily when seeing delicious food.

Biting is not necessarily a bad thing

In addition to despising the owner and crying, when scavengers play with cats every day, they may find that the cat is getting excited, or when being petted by the owner, it will suddenly hug the owner's hand and start biting.

Many cat owners think that they made their cats anxious, so the cats started biting, but this is not true. If you have multiple cats at home, you may find that when two cats are playing and fighting, They will bite each other lightly every once in a while.

And when the cat was playing with its mother cat when it was young, it would also bite the mother cat gently, so the cat "biting the owner" at this time is a sign of the cat's happiness.

If the bite is very light, the owner does not need to care. Of course, if you don’t like it, you can also correct the cat.

Again, no one can fully understand cats, but understanding these misunderstandings about how to get along with cats can help us make correct choices when getting along with cats, so as to increase the relationship between us and cats.

You know, 100 cats have 100 personalities, but if the relationship between the owner and the cat is deep, you can still have a good cat-raising experience even if your cat has a withdrawn personality.

Aren’t we raising cats just for the experience of raising cats? So knowing more about cats will help you raise your cat better, and also make your cat love you more!
