Any cat owner knows that all doors in the house should be left wide open.
An accidentally slammed door can result in the animal spending hours on end meowing and scratching the panel – peace in such a situation can only be dreamed of by the cat’s owner.
If you were wondering why this might be happening, you can breathe a sigh of relief: scientists have managed to find several reasons for this behavior.
The first of these is that cats are extremely inquisitive animals.
Due to this peculiarity, it is not surprising that they are always afraid of missing something that they consider very important. A closed door does not allow the purrs to find out what is on the other side, and they try their best to satisfy their curiosity.
They can be understood: it is important for cats to be in control of everything in order to understand whether they are in any danger.
Another reason is that pets try to attract their owner's attention in this way. If you often leave your cat alone to get bored, even a fierce loner who shies away from affection and human company will get bored.
Finally, according to zoopsychologist Ingrid Johnson, furry creatures are unable to comprehend that the door is not closed forever, but for a certain period of time. Cats deprived of the space where they used to sleep or eat begin to experience stress.
