As people's living conditions are getting better day by day, many people start to keep some pets to increase the fun in life.

Among many pets, cats and dogs have become the first choices of people. Many people post their daily life of raising cats on Douyin or Weibo, and even become cat slaves.

Once pet cats have an emotional connection with their owners, they will be very clingy, and they will always meet their owners and be inseparable.

Many people who have raised cats say that when they need to travel for work or have to leave the house because of other things, they will obviously feel that their cats are very depressed.

Because there are more people who keep cats, there are also more institutions that study cats. A scientific research institution specializing in the behavior of cats has been established abroad.

This scientific research institution once conducted a detailed survey of 100 cat-raising households. They installed hidden cameras in these 100 cat-raising households, and used up to observe the daily interaction between cats and their owners.

It was found that about 15 percent of cats exhibited bizarre behaviors when their owners were away from home and could not play and interact with cats.

Many people who have raised cats say that they feel that cats are very lazy, because they don't like sports very much, and they like to lie in one place for a long time. Although they look very well-behaved, they always feel that they lack some vitality.

But this foreign scientific research institution found that when the owner leaves the cat, the cat becomes very lively and extremely restless.

When they hear voices in other people's houses or in the corridors, they will show great panic and even aggressive behavior.

The research institute also found that some cats are even prone to depression if their owners stay away from home for too long.

Although many people say that cats are very lazy and cold in their daily life, they are unwilling to be friends with other animals.

However, the results of this study show that although cats appear to be cold on the surface, they are very lonely inside, and they like to play with other animals or humans very much, hoping that humans can accompany it all the time.

In fact, if any animal spends a long time with its owner, it will become very dependent on its owner.

When humans leave them, they think they have abandoned it because of some behavioral error, so they appear very restless and depressed.

Of course, when tired comes back to them again, they will be very happy and the weird behavior will disappear.

In addition, the scientific research institution also stated that in fact, pets also have very strong cognitive ability and empathy. The mentality of most pets is very similar to that of human children. They like to interact with their owners very much, and sometimes do some flattering things in the hope of being favored by their owners.

In addition, as cats grow older, cats' cognitive ability will gradually strengthen, and they can accurately understand the emotional state of humans through the tone of voice when humans speak.

Conclusion: Many people choose to keep pets on a whim, but as a result, they cannot accompany them or take good care of them. Eventually, many pets suffer from depression because they have become emotionally dependent on their owners. Therefore, it is recommended that if you choose to keep pets, you must treat them well.
