There is an opinion that cats are able to sense the bad mood of their owners.

And this is really true. We tell you what science says about this.

Does a cat sense the owner's mood?

According to a study conducted at Oakland University in Michigan, cats are indeed able to read people's emotions.

By observing the behavior of cats, scientists have discovered that it directly depends on the mood of their owners.

If the owners smiled, the cats purred, rubbed against their legs, and jumped onto their laps.

If the owners frowned, the cats tried to move away or left altogether.

At the same time, the same cats demonstrated neutral behavior with strangers.
