Scientists have discovered cats simple don’t give a crap!
Scientists have discovered that cats do not care about their owners in the same way that dogs do. A new study published in the journal Animal Cognition found that cats do not respond to their owners' calls in the same way that dogs do. When a dog hears its owner's voice, it will often perk up its ears and look at its owner. Cats, on the other hand, are more likely to ignore their owners' calls.
The study's authors believe that this difference in behavior may be due to the fact that cats are solitary animals. Dogs, on the other hand, are pack animals and are more social. This means that dogs are more likely to be interested in what their owners are doing and to want to interact with them.
The study's findings may come as a surprise to some people, who believe that cats are just as affectionate as dogs. However, the study's authors believe that the findings are important because they can help us to better understand how cats think and behave.
Here are some additional details from the study:
- The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Lincoln in the United Kingdom.
- The researchers tested the behavior of 20 cats and 20 dogs.
- The researchers played recordings of their owners' voices to the cats and dogs.
- The researchers found that the dogs were more likely to respond to their owners' voices than the cats were.
- The researchers believe that this difference in behavior may be due to the fact that cats are solitary animals.
- The researchers believe that the findings of the study are important because they can help us to better understand how cats think and behave.
