It is said that if pets spoke, people would lose their last friends. A man never know if it really is, because there is no hope of talking to his pet any hope. However, communication with a domestic pet is a common thing. Sometimes, turning to the cat, it seems that she understands what it is about.
Understand or not?
There are several opinions about whether the cats are capable of understanding the phrases pronounced by man. Whatever it was, scientists have proven that the cat is not responding not to words, but on the intonation with which speech is pronounced.
Felinologist Logan Forbes held an interesting experiment . Each time before visiting the veterinary clinic, she told the cat with the same intonation: "We are going to the vet." Subconsciously in the animal, this offer became associated with unpleasant procedures, and the cat began to hide, having heard this phrase. As soon as the owner pronounced the same words with another intonation, the cat was indifferent to them reacted.
Another unusual observation was also revealed: Cat adapts to the emotional background of the owner . According to some scientists, these animals react to gestures. Phonetik Susanna Shelz proved that cats are trying to interact with people in a special language. They capture the gestures and the movements of the owner, remember them and adjust to his behavior.
For example, if you open the cabinet before feeding every time, the animal will be in the kitchen every time, catching the familiar sound of the opening door.
The words of the cat are unlikely to understand, but they feel from the voice of the owner what he wants to say . If the cat trained and easily performs the teams that the owner says, it is unlikely that the same cat will respond to the same teams given by another person. Such stories are known, and they prove that the words of the cats are not distinguished, but the owner can understand. Another experiment showed that the animal recognizes the owner's voice.
When various people were addressed to the object of experience, including the owner, the cat responded to the voices of all participants in the experiment, But, having heard the voice of the owner, her pupils expanded, which indicates a stormy emotional reaction.
The veterinary specialist Anastasia Nikolina believes that the animal can remember the concrete combination of human speech sounds, so it can remember his nickname, and respond to it.
There is even a version that cats have sensitive abilities and telepathically can determine the mood of the owner.
In general, it is believed that these animals are not inclined to communicate with a person, because at one time they themselves came to human homes, they did not have to tame like dogs . They do not feel obliged to man. For example, most cats responds to their name, only having walked the sound of the opening feed, and in other cases, a pet is impossible to call - he prefers not to provide a service to the host, but to come to him only at his own wishes.
Thus, cats on intonation determine what the owner wants to say. If a tender voice is to pronounce various names in the address of the cat, then she will be happy, because it turned to her tenderness.
If you scold an animal and a rude angry tone to call it "Sunshine," Bunny "and other smear names, then the cat will take these phrases as anger to him from the owner.
How to understand the cat?
There are several signs pointing to certain emotions of the pet.
- Seeing that the cat narrowed his eyes, it can be assumed that she was tired and wishes to take a nap.
- When the cat comes to the legs of the host and starts to rub, it may mean that it is hungry. In the same way, animals express their love towards the owner.
- I have done clearly up ears talk about what is interested in something. If your ears are pressed, then maybe he wants to attack the game or conflict.
- Widely opened eyes and rounded pupils point to fear of a pet.
- Purr - a sign of a good mood. Most likely, at that moment the animal caress, stroke or play with him.
- The morning rumbling suggests that a homemade favorite is unhappy and demands to leave her alone.
- Hissing and open mouth always indicate that the animal threatens something, trying to scare away. It is better not to touch the pet at such a moment.
- Hearing howling the cat, it can be assumed that he expresses anger and disappointment. Perhaps he did not work out, and so he shows annoyance.
Typically, the owners know well the character of their four-legged friend and understand it without the above signs. Each cat has its own characteristics. For example, there are chatter cats, which all their actions are accompanied by meowuchenium or rude. Meeting at the door of the host, please feed, call to play - all these actions can be performed under the rumbling, so the cat communicates with the owner, and usually the owners know the meaning of different sounds in the voice of the pet.
There are other animals, for example, aristocratic mowers, meowakania from which can be achieved only in rare cases. Knowing the nature of the pet, the attentive owner on his behavior will understand the emotions of the animal.
If it is noted that the cat sits or lies with an open mouth, and the danger does not threaten it from anyone, then this speaks of a physical pain that the cat is experiencing. Perhaps she poisoned. Sitting near the bowl with water Pet, trying to drink water, but not making it, but only peering in a bowl, most likely picked up a serious viral disease, for example, a paneling.
In both of these cases, you need to immediately carry pets to the veterinary doctor.
How to communicate?
To the animal understood a person, the owner should explore some rules for communication with cats. As mentioned, cats hear words, but their meaningful load is incomprehensible to them. For example, according to some experiments of zoologists, these animals do not understand the words "no", so it makes no sense to teach a pet from some kind of acts with the help of this word.
Below are other recommendations for the establishment of contact with the cat.
- It is necessary to monitor the tone during communication. You should not raise a voice, talking to homely predator, as it responds to the mood of the owner, focusing on the tonality and volume of pronounced phrases. It should be done openly.
- When meeting unfamiliar animals, it is necessary to squat and slowly stretch in his side with a hand with an opened palm pointing upwards. This gesture man will show that there is nothing in his hand to threaten the cat. If the palm is lowered down, the cat can perceive it as a threat.
- It has been proven that the most expressive gesture for the cat is a finger or finger stretched to the face of the cat. Such a study was conducted with the participation of 40 cats. Experience showed how these animals react to human gestures. Thus, it can be concluded that the cat can be explained by something by pointing to the desired one with a finger.
