Can cats understand their owners? After reading this, you will know

For every shit shoveling officer, they have an idea: I hope that the cat owner at home can have the ability to be obedient like a dog, but also have a beautiful appearance and a cute attitude like a cat.

But the idea is good. In reality, cats are raised, but they always have a disobedient cat.

In the process of raising cats, many shit shoveling officers will have such doubts: Can the cat understand when I speak or give instructions to the cat?

When I didn't own a cat, I was actually very curious about this question, but after I owned a cat for a few years, I realized:

Whether the cat can understand what the owner says depends on the cat's mood and the cat's needs.

for example:

You have just had a cat for a few months. At this time, how do you train your cat to be obedient and consciously obey one of your commands?

Every time you feed your cat, tap the cat's bowl with a spoon to make some noise; wait for the cat to get close to you, then refill the cat's bowl with food.

Repeat this action and the sound of knocking the bowl several times, and the cat will realize in the future: the owner knocked the bowl, it's time to feed me.

This is a conditioned reflex of cats, and they understand that this is some hint from the owner to them through these sounds and the behavior of the owner.

This kind of behavior and psychological suggestion is somewhat similar to "Pavlov's Law", which is a conditioned reflex habit that the owner allows the cat to develop through training and suggestion.

When you understand the above method of training cats, it will be easier to understand: whether the cat can understand the owner's words.

In the process of raising cats, there are often situations like this:

When you name cats, they will wag their tails in response to you. Some lively cats will also respond to you with a "meow" sound, then raise their heads and stare at you with big eyes, as if waiting for you next. intention of.

There are also cats who wake up from sleep immediately when you call their name, walk up to you with kitten steps, and rub their bodies against you.

These behaviors of cats all illustrate a problem: they can understand some of your words and understand your name; but whether or not they respond to you depends on the cat's personality and mood.

When the cat is in trouble, you suddenly yell at the cat, and most cats respond: stop the trouble immediately and stare at you vigilantly.

There are also some cats who will run away immediately after hearing you yell, and find a hidden place to hide to avoid being punished by you.

These reactions of cats also show that they can understand the emotions represented by your different decibel sounds.

I read a pet science article before, which mentioned a knowledge: the IQ of an adult cat is equivalent to a 2-3 year old child.

So, can cats understand you?

The conclusion is: understandable.

However, cats are not dogs after all, they are not as obedient as dogs, and they are not as obedient and sensible as dogs.

Cats' reactions and expressions are always based on their mood.

When the cat is in a good mood, or when you have food in your hand, the cat is more willing to interact with you, stick to you, and obey certain commands from you.

And when cats are in a bad mood, or are annoyed by you, they want to scratch and scratch you and avoid you.

Is your cat willing to obey some of your commands?
