Do cats like people who don't care about them better?

Cats eventually give the impression that they don't care much for their owners, tutors who do everything to give the little animal lots of love and affection. However, they can sometimes show more affection for someone who isn't necessarily a cat lover.

The study, carried out by specialists in the feline behavior of University of Nottingham and the Nottingham Trentuniversity, who worked in collaboration with the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home and published in the magazine Scientific Reports, he adds that kittens tend to like more those who don't like them that much.

The survey had 120 volunteers, who had to answer some questions about their experience and how they treated cats. The volunteers' interactions with animals they didn't know were also evaluated, checking the reactions and body language of the cats.

In view of the analyses, the researchers realized that even those who have been tutors for a longer time, which would imply knowing how to deal better with the animal, they suffered a little in the treatment, since they end up paying too much attention to the cats, which, in turn, they are

Cats end up preferring people who don't care much about them, because that way they get independence and space, which they consider very important for their existence. Still, those who love animals more often pet places that pets don't like, like the belly or the base of the tail.

Finally, it was also verified that cats prefer that they reach the human when they want some attention, not the other way around. They also prefer people who pay attention to them passively, with less touching. The places where they most liked to be caressed were under their chin or at the base of their ears.

So, if your kitty is kind of facing you, maybe offering a little less petting might do the trick.
