In fact, cats do not like to be close to people by nature. We all know that dogs and humans are very close. Cats, which have been domesticated for thousands of years, seem to have yet to improve their public image.
Many people think that an independent personality is a bonus trait, but some people think that such a cat is too cold and arrogant, and selfish. Cat haters claim cats only get close to humans when they're hungry.
Dogs seem to be born with an inability to hide their inner emotions – they will fidget, sniff, and wag their tails in signs of contentment, nervousness, or sheer joy. Regardless of what that "Game of Poker" picture is trying to show, dogs are by no means good players at poker. People can easily see through their minds.
Cat body language can also be complex -- wagging tails, fur ruffling, and the pointing of ears and whiskers all reveal their emotional state. Purring is often (but not always) a sign of friendliness or contentment.
Generally speaking, people can use body language to tell whether the cat in front of them is annoying or not
Studies by Daniel Mills and others have found that cats may not like to be with people by nature, and being close to people will cause them a lot of pressure.
The researchers' sample included 23 households with one cat, 20 households with two cats, and 17 households with three to four cats.
Cat owners have to report the cat’s usual personality traits, and also submit the cat’s fecal samples to check its glucocorticoid metabolites (glucocorticoid metabolites, GCM) through enzyme immunoassay, and get the stress level, because glucocorticoids Increase have been shown to correlate positively with stress levels.
It turned out that cats' stress levels had little to do with their owners' reported personalities, namely whether they were bossy, shy, or easy-going.
But for cats under 2 years old, the environmental factors they live in have a significant relationship with the stress level: in families with more than two cats, cats generally have lower levels of stress than in families with only one cat.
This has nothing to do with close friendships between cats, as this trend was also found in households where cats were not close to each other, or even strangers and avoiding each other.
Therefore, the researchers believe that cats may not like to play with people and be petted by nature. When a family has cats other than itself, people's attention and caress will not only focus on one cat, other cats will help it share the pressure of playing with humans.
