When the shoveler hears the cat "meow meow", does he want to return a "meow meow" to reach a cross-species conversation with the kitten?
Cat owners always experience such a scene, one day said a word to the cat, the cat suddenly looked at the shoveler "meow" a sound, as if he understood. At this time, the shoveler was very surprised, and immediately tried to talk to the cat, but found that the cat had turned its head and left. The shoveler was not dead hearted, and began to meow in the back.
Guess what the cat thinks? I yelled at this human "meow" and she replied to me with a "meow" with 13 grammatical errors?
Since the language barrier is not spoken, how can we communicate with cats across species?
If the shoveler is lucky enough, it should be a Siamese cat by his side who can help the shoveler quickly master this skill. The Siamese cat will make you experience the surprise of talking to the cat all the time, that is, because the Siamese cat raised at the beginning made the editor mistakenly think that he really mastered the ability to talk to the cat.
When I first started raising Siam, the family was like this every day:
Shoveler: "Baby, do you want to eat canned food?" ”
Cat: Meow meow
Shoveler: Oh, don't want to eat canned food, that's chicken breast?
Cat: Meow
Shoveler: Okay, let's eat this chicken breast!
Siam is really too talkative, which leads to the small editor who has just been immersed in the joy of raising a cat, and can talk to it for more than half an hour every day. From this process, not only do you slowly understand the needs of the cat, but you also gain a great sense of satisfaction and self-confidence. Imagine if you are faced with a cat that is particularly cold and does not look at you, and you "meow", it may only treat you as a fool in its heart.
In the movie "Dorit's Fantastic Adventure", Dr. Dorit is a doctor who can communicate with animals, and he can even communicate with animals such as gorillas, stick worms, giraffes, parrots, etc., and even without obstacles. The little boy who came here by mistake injured a squirrel became his apprentice, and later on the boat, the apprentice gradually understood what the actions made by the animals after a long time with the animals, the sounds of the animals.
Communication with the cat is actually the same, with the cat for a long time, willing to spend at least half an hour a day with the cat, play with it, try to understand its behavior from its point of view, after a period of time, it is easy to achieve "barrier-free communication" with the cat.
Not to mention that cats, as one of the most pets that people keep now, for most of the behavior of cats, it is easy to find out what it means from various channels. It is not so difficult for humans to understand the thinking and behavior of a kitten, and in the same way, for cats, who spend time with the shoveler every day, observe the shoveler almost all the time, and it is easier to know what the shoveler means by this action. It may not understand what you're saying, but it can remember the tone, the frequency of the sound, and what happened to the time when it came with that sound.
For example, if you pick it up again and again when the pitch goes up and shouts its name, then after a while, when you shout its name again, it may stop and wait for you to hold it. If it doesn't want you to hold it at this time, it will run away quickly.
The way to understand what the cat means is nothing more than the cat's call, the state of the ears, the state of the beard, the state of the tail, the emotions revealed in the eyes, plus the reaction to some specific behaviors of the shoveler, you can judge what the cat means.
The state of the ears, the beard, the tail, the eyes, we have already said before, then there is the sound. Different cats have different calls, some cats are particularly talkative and like to bark, and some cats are quiet and almost silent. Xiaobian raised a beautiful short, never made a sound before it was in heat, so that Xiaobian once thought that it was not a dumb...
Overall, cat calls can be divided into the following categories:
A softer "hmm" sound, a "purr" sound. When the cat makes such a sound, it is a state of dependence on the owner, and at the same time, it is also expressing that it feels very comfortable. At this time, the shoveler may be grooming the cat, so just continue;
A more urgent, loud "meow" sound. This sound usually expresses the cat's appeal, or the cat's dissatisfaction. For example, the cat is hungry, thirsty, and the shoveler has not returned for a long time;
A "whimper" in the throat. Generally, the cat is very angry, and it may be that the cat is guarding food during meals;
It's not in a hurry, it's just a loud cry. This sound may be that the cat is feeling bored and wants to attract the attention of the shoveler;
In addition to the words Siamese, other kittens are generally quiet, they "meow" time is relatively small, but with the cat's action, the shoveler can use human words to ask the cat what is wrong, what is needed, there is no need for "meow meow" response to the cat, this will generally only exchange for a puzzled look from the cat, and give up the desire to communicate with you.
