Scientists have told about a secret way to establish contact with a cat
For a long time people have been trying to establish communication with cats and find a way to please these wayward animals. But the tailed ones are not so simple — they can be completely unpredictable and wayward when communicating with a person. Fortunately, recently British scientists have made a breakthrough in this matter and have become one step closer to solving the cat mystery.
Scientists from the School of Psychology at the University of Sussex have found that cats are more supportive of people who blink slowly at them. Using this trick, you get more chances to stroke a touchy cat or just win over a cautious animal.
British psychologists have done serious work and put a lot of experiments before they realized that a cat enjoys communication when he sees that a person slowly closes and opens his eyes and squints. The fact is that in the cat's language, these actions show friendly intentions.
Many have noticed that cats first stare at us intently, and then begin to blink slowly or close their eyes. We perceive this as a loss of interest in us and even an offensive expression of contempt. But in fact, everything is exactly the opposite and the cat can blink slowly only when it fully trusts you.
Gaze is a sign of alertness and aggression, and if the cat avoids eye contact, it means that she is afraid of you. Animals judge us from their point of view and therefore we need to either accept their rules, or put up with their distrust. Try to "talk" with a cat using your eyes and you will be able to see for yourself that the British scientists were right.
In the USA, they made an even more amazing discovery and were able to explain why cats are afraid of cucumbers. It turns out that there is nothing mystical about this and it's all about the same cat psychology.
