Cats, as companions in human life, have always attracted much attention. In our eyes, cats are cute, clever companions, but in the eyes of cats, do they really realize that they are a cat? This question involves the cognition and self-awareness of animals, and it deserves our in-depth consideration.
1.Social Behavior in Cats: Are You a "Big Cat" or a "Kind"?
Cats' social cognition of humans.
Cats are social creatures that express their attachment to humans through a variety of behaviors. When cats rub their heads against you, their tails, and purr, they are showing affection and acceptance for you. This behavior may be a form of identification that sees you as a "big cat" or a "kindred man".
2.The Cat's World of Sight and Smell: How Do You Look at You Differently?
Cats' unique perception of the world.
The visual and olfactory worlds of cats are very different from those of humans. They are able to perceive ultraviolet rays and have a keen sense of smell, which affects their perception of their surroundings. In the eyes of cats, we may be seen as creatures with large bodies and unique smells, and their closeness to humans may be establishing a special way of communicating.
3.A cat's self-perception: a cat or a "member of the family"?
A cat's perception of its own identity.
While cats may not be able to understand that they are a "cat", they are able to realize that they have a special role to play in the family. Through dependence on the owner and adaptation to the home environment, cats may develop a vague perception of their status and see themselves as part of the family.
Conclusion:A cat's self-perception is a complex and interesting topic. While they may not be able to understand themselves as a cat, through their interactions with humans and their adaptation to their families, they develop a special bond in the cat's eyes. The communication and understanding we have with cats has built a unique and deep relationship. My daily life with my cat
