What a cat can’t understand and what it knows very well

Apparently, only personal experience has a direct impact on a person’s notion of cat intelligence. Some people believe that the cat is a very intelligent animal that understands absolutely everything, only it can’t speak. Others believe it is a “mindless creature that is driven only by instincts. How can a cat really understand and think and what, even with all its intelligence, it cannot understand?

Cats are empaths.

These sensitive animals are considered telepathic for a reason.

A cat understands his owner’s mood very well. More precisely, it can just feel it, and the owner’s mood is instantly transferred to the pet. This ability has been called empathy. Increased sensitivity of cats led to the fact that they began to attribute the ability to telepathy.

At the same time, the cat understands the physical superiority of man, but do not conclude that it recognizes his superiority in the home. Cats are considered to be territorial animals, and the psychology of the owner is “built in” in itself. Therefore, you should not try to put the animal “in its place”, not only it will not have the desired effect, but it will provoke problems and stress in its behavior.

The cat’s notion of children and prohibitions

Some owners allow the cat to go anywhere in the house

After all, the cat apparently understands that small children are not accountable for their actions. This explains why cats try to refrain from attacking children, even if they pester them with their tricks. Animals show incredible patience. True, we must say, as a rule, it applies only to the children of the family, where the cat lives. To other people’s children it is unlikely to show such loyalty.

A cat’s mind somehow does not comprehend the existence of the so-called “forbidden” places in the house. That is, sometimes the policy of some owners is such that the animal is allowed to get everywhere and explore all areas. But in reality this is uncommon – usually the pussy is not allowed to stick its curious nose everywhere. And, if the animal is brought up correctly, it won’t poke into the forbidden place in the presence of the owner, but no more than that.

Cat “talk”.

In the cat’s “vocabulary” there are also “sound-words” to communicate with humans

Cats have long understood that human communication with each other occurs, including through sounds. Taking into account that they have been living next to humans for thousands of years, it did not take them long to invent a language to communicate with humans. There are only a few dozen “sound-words” in it, but it is enough to express what is necessary.

All animals, including cats, have no concept of good and evil. Therefore, vindictiveness and vindictiveness are not in the cats’ nature. If the cat causes problems with its behavior, then there are two options – either it is sick, or there are problems, primarily in the behavior of the owner. So it is not necessary to accuse the cat – it’s better to search for the root of the problem in yourself. And also – it is considered that the cat doesn’t understand that the owner helps her when she needs an injection, to restrict her diet according to the doctor’s recommendation or to trim her tangles. The pet doesn’t understand the owner’s good intentions and perceives this as an infringement of rights or a threat.
