Cats see their humans as larger, non-hostile cats. Yes, this is what an expert in animal behavior has revealed in a book on cat's behavior to tell you how your feline friends see you. The book has been titled as Cat Sense. John Bradshaw is a biologist who founded and directs the world-renowned Anthrozoology Institute at the University of Bristol.
His findings are based on his observations on cats over a period of thirty years. He said that cats treat their owner as their mothers because they see them as a big, but non-hostile cat.
Cats give the greeting sign when their tail is upright and it is also a way to show affection to you. He also wrote in the book that cats are far less domesticated than their canine counterparts. He cited relaxed standards of breeding as a reason for it.
He added, "The transformation of the cat from resident exterminator to companion cohabiter is both recent and rapid, and-especially from the cat's perspective-evidently incomplete".
His book also raised questions over about how cats would be like after 50 years. He said that he wants people to have good time with a delightful animal, but he said that he is more concerned about the direction cats are heading to.
He said that cats cannot be taken for granted anymore and that is why a more considered approach is required for cat keeping and cat breeding.
