Why Cats Don't Think Humans Are Smart Enough: Here's Evidence

If for a dog its owner is a king and a god, smarter than whom there is no one in the whole world, then cats, frankly speaking, do not have a very high opinion of human intellectual abilities.

Cats think humans have primitive field behavior

When a person watches TV, reads a book or uses a phone, the cat tries to get his attention by meowing several times, but if the person does not respond to her, she gently and persistently places her body between him and the object that attracts his attention.

This happens because the pet is confident in the primitive field behavior of a person. She realizes that the owner has a very narrow corridor of attention, so out of condescension she places herself in his field of vision to make his task easier.

Cats think humans underestimate the dangers of water

The owner may not notice, but the cat often gets nervous when he takes a bath. The animal thinks that the person does not realize the danger of water and does not understand that after that he will be all wet.

If the owner spends too much time in the bath, the cat will definitely show up to check if everything is okay. She calls him and even tries to pull him out of this strange wet substance.

Cats are sure that humans don't know how to navigate

When a person leaves the house, the cat often comes to the door and waits for him to return. She thinks that he may be standing outside the door or wandering around near it, having forgotten how to get home.

The cat calls the person and scratches at the door to remind him that the entrance to the house is here. The same thing, by the way, happens when the owner spends a long time in the toilet. The pet calls him and scratches the door to remind him that the exit from the toilet is here.
