Scientists have finally proven and announced to everyone that cats do not miss their owners, as cat lovers had imagined.
The feeling that pets experience is called differently. Cats are not bored, but frustrated. What is it and how does it manifest itself, we will tell you in this article.
During the course of their research, British scientists found out that when their owner is away, cats get bored, but not because the owner is not there.
These are not mental anguish or sufferings that are familiar to dogs separated from their owners. Domestic cats do not even experience separation anxiety, as cat owners instill in themselves.
Animals are completely independent in this regard, and this has been proven experimentally.
The behavior of 20 domestic cats was observed in an empty room with only a couple of chairs as furniture. The pets were left alone after their owners left.
The cats only showed dissatisfaction, which manifested itself in loud vocalizations. However, no signs of affection could be detected.
The reason for this behavior is that, compared to dogs, the domestication of cats is relatively recent.
That's why cats don't show much affection, but only feel discomfort.
