Pet owners are well aware of how a simple phone conversation can turn into an interesting situation.
At such moments, our pets begin to come closer and try in every possible way to attract the person’s attention.
Some people believe that this is how pets show jealousy. Based on this version, the following happens: cats and dogs do not agree with the fact that their loved one spends time with some other strange object (phone) and try to wean him off this habit.
However, when you are simply using your phone while texting or checking social networks, such a reaction does not follow, so the version with jealousy is out of the question.
Experts believe that the reason lies elsewhere. The fact is that our animals believe that the conversation is being held with them. This is especially true if there are no other family members around you during the phone conversation.
Cats and dogs think that you just decided to talk to them, so they simply respond to your initiative.
