Who does the cat choose to be the owner? This particular family member becomes the owner – the rest are perceived by the pet as “servants”

Cats divide the people they live with in the same apartment into several types.

The first is the owner. The animal considers only one person who meets certain "requirements" to be the owner.

The second type is "servant". This is how the fluffy one will perceive the one who looks after him, but is not the owner.

There is also a third type - "source of danger". But these are not found in all families.

Who exactly does the cat choose to be the owner?

It would seem that the answer is obvious: the owner of a furry four-legged friend is the one who constantly feeds the pet and takes the most care of it.

In fact, everything is different. The cat makes a choice based on rather interesting criteria.

A pet will consider the most important member of the family who not only looks after the pet and protects it, but is also on the same emotional “wave” with it.

In other words, it is not enough to simply feed your cat for it to start considering you as its owner.

You also need to play with your four-legged friend and pet him often. You need to make sure that your pet starts to consider you "his" and trusts you.

Who won't become the owner of a cat?

You haven't made friends with your cat, but you still care about him? That means you're nothing more than a "servant" to him.

But there is nothing to worry about. The main thing is not to fall into the category called "Source of Danger". This group includes people who often make noise, scare the pet and violate its personal space.
