These characteristics of cats are due to the developed cerebral hemisphere and cerebral cortex.

The cat is the monarch.

Cats never consider themselves servants of their owners. Some people think that compared with dogs, cats are somewhat willful and go their own way. Most people who have this idea don't know much about the habits of cats. Originally, cats are animals that like to act alone, unlike dogs, which obey their owners' orders and act in groups. Therefore, it does not regard its master as a monarch, but does what it says. Sometimes, whatever you call it, it will ignore it. Cats and their owners are not master-slave relationships, so it is better to treat them as equal friends. It is this relationship that makes it unique.

Cats like coquetry.

It looks "cool", but in fact, it is very spoiled. On the other hand, cats regard their owners as their parents and love to be spoiled like children. When they feel lonely, they will climb on their master's knees, or jump on the open newspaper and sit around to show their charm. Many people can't do anything about it.

Cats like to sleep.

The cat sleeps for half a day. Cats sleep for 14- 15 hours, and some cats sleep for more than 20 hours, so cats are called "lazy cats". However, if you carefully observe the way a cat sleeps, you will find that as long as there is a little noise, the cat's ears will move, and if someone comes near, it will suddenly get up. At first, the cat was a hunting animal. In order to keenly perceive all the movements of the outside world, it didn't sleep very hard.

Cats who live with people sleep more dead. Generally speaking, cats who live with people sleep and die more at night than during the day. This can prove that cats adapt to the laws of human life and rely on people. Moreover, even some cats will sleep openly with their stomachs open and kick them gently, but they still sleep well. This is really a shame to hunt animals and a generous smile.

Maoai clean

Cats clean their bodies with claws and tongues every day, wash their faces and comb their hair, and cover or bury their feces after each defecation, which is very clean. This behavior is not a dress-up behavior, but a physiological need.

Cats always start to comb their hair after eating or playing, exercising or waking up. The tongue licks the coat, stimulates the secretion of sebaceous glands in the hair follicles of the skin, and makes the hair smooth and shiny, and is not easy to get wet. At the same time, lick a certain amount of VD to promote bone development. After exercise, the heat generated in the cat needs to be dissipated. Applying saliva to fur with your tongue and using the evaporation of water in saliva to dissipate heat is a method to regulate body temperature, which can cool down and relieve summer heat. At the same time, it can promote hair regeneration and remove parasites on the body surface, which is beneficial to health.

It's a very popular saying that cats poop-it's covered. Why? It turns out that this behavior of hiding feces is an instinct formed by wild cats to prevent natural enemies from tracking. Before enjoying the reputation of hygiene, domestic cats still maintained this nature.

Cat's language

The cat's cry. Body movements and smells are the real communication language between cats. Every cat's body has its own unique smell, and every cat can recognize this smell. When cats get along well with each other, they will leave their own smell on each other by rubbing their bodies. If two kittens are mixed together at the same time. A female cat can identify her children by smell and feed them. If the mother cat accepts another kitten that is not born to her, the best way is to smear the smell of the mother cat (such as placenta) on the kitten to get the approval of the mother cat, and then the mother cat will accept him and feed him. When two underage cats meet, they often smell each other to judge whether they know each other.

Cats are also rich in body language. Through the changes of head, neck, ears and tail, different postures constitute the silent body language of cats. Dogs wag their tails to show recognition and friendliness, while cats wag their tails slowly to tell their owners or similar people that they are unhappy, so please don't fight. Tail straight, gently "whoops"; Just tell the owner or the same kind that he is happy and willing to communicate. If the cat is angry, its ears stand on its back, its beard stands forward and its eyes shrink into a crack. When fighting, its eyes are wide open, its ears are flat and straight, its beard is erect, its tail is flapping on the ground, its center of gravity moves back, and it is ready to jump up and roar "Oh-Oh". When the owner touched him, the cat's eyes closed slightly and its tail swung gently, which was very peaceful and looked very comfortable.
