Do you know what a cat is thinking when it 'watches in the dark'?

Before writing this cat science article, let me tell you an interesting thing.

I have 3 cats in my house, and one of them likes to "watch in the dark".

What performance?

That is, when you do something, the cat will hide in the corner, beside the sofa, or in a corner, with only half of its head exposed to stare at you.

Then, every time I go to the bathroom, I read in the study, and I cook in the kitchen, the cat owner does this behavior.

Especially when I go to the bathroom at night, the cat also hides in the corner. When I pass by, it suddenly jumps out of the corner, bites me and runs away.

This kind of behavior makes cats happy.

Presumably, most cat shoveling officers have also experienced these moments.

When taking a bath, the cat lies behind the door and observes secretly along the crack of the door;

During sleep, if you close the bedroom door, the cat will keep scratching the door.

As long as you are out of the cat's sight, the cat will go crazy, especially if you have a kitten.

Of course, the cat's favorite activity on weekdays is "secret observation".

So what are cats thinking when they watch you secretly?

First: the curiosity of cats, from beginning to end

Nothing can resist a cat's curiosity.

It can be said: the cat's life from the moment of birth, curiosity has never stopped.

Kittens are more curious than adult cats.

Because in the kitten's world, as long as it is a moving creature or something, it can attract its attention and curiosity.

Adult cats are often curious about "new things".

The behavior of a cat's secret observation is a way of its inner emotional fluctuations, expressing curiosity, and being interested in you.

When the shit shovel officer was eating, the cat was thinking secretly while observing:

"The shit shovel officer is stealing food from me again."

When the shit shovel officer made some noises, the cat secretly observed and thought: "God, what is the shit shovel officer doing?"

Second: cats are like people, and they will also have a "giant baby mentality"

In intimate relationships, there is a term called "giant baby mentality".

Psychologically it can be explained as:

In front of loved ones, a person behaves like a child who does not have much action and cannot live alone; over-dependent and clingy.

Such behavior is called giant baby mentality.

Does the shit shovel officer know?

When the cat gets along with the shit shoveling officer, the cat will also have a similar giant baby mentality.

When is your cat the most clingy?

Did your cat seem overly dependent on you when you had a cat?

The cat's secret observation, the cat's following behavior, the cat must be by your side all the time.

This series of behaviors themselves are all manifestations of the cat's "giant baby mentality".

The most direct manifestation is probably:

When the shit shovel officer came home from get off work, the moment he opened the door, he heard the cat meowing and rushed towards the shit shovel officer anxiously.

It seems to be acting like a spoiled child, it seems to be acting cute, it seems to be telling grievances.

Next time if your cat is watching secretly, don't ignore the care for the cat~
