Why do people love cats
A soft, cozy creature that loves to curl up at the owner’s feet into a fluffy ball and emit a pleasant purr - a symbol of a warm, bright home, happiness, comfort and love. This is the main reason why people prefer to have mustachioed striped animals as pets. For many people, these animals are associated with peace and tranquility.
The way a person treats cats can tell a lot about his character. Psychologists have developed their own characteristics of people who cannot imagine their life without a furry purr:
- Women : They are often compared to cats, and for good reason. The fair sex, who loves cats, is just as graceful, well-groomed and full of mysterious secrets. She craves love, knows how and wants to give it back. But at the same time, she is independent and not always logical in her actions. Often women who do not have a family or children get cats to give them affection. At the same time, they know that in return they will receive boundless and selfless love. But there are pitfalls here. A cat, accustomed to receiving attention and affection, may have an extremely negative attitude towards the appearance of a man in the house.
- Children : a child who loves cats, gentle and affectionate. Most children are afraid of dogs, but are drawn to cats, and this happens at the level of instinct. This is explained by the fact that in a calm and cozy cat, babies see a reflection of their mother. In families with small children, psychologists recommend having cats. Such proximity makes kids flexible and calm, loving and responsible in the future. Contact with a cat helps alleviate stress for a baby who is weaning from breastfeeding.
- Men : if a representative of the stronger sex has a cat as a pet or has a weakness for cats, this indicates his soft and flexible character, his willingness to always seek compromises to make everyone comfortable and comfortable. Such men are less susceptible to stress, aggressive behavior and outbursts of irritability.
What kind of people are they who don’t like cats? There are also those who cannot stand purring. But in most cases, the reason lies in the subconscious, the presence of psychological problems:
- A woman who does not like cats does not perceive, does not realize, and even denies her feminine nature.
- Most men are misogynists. Men with non-traditional sexual orientation are not particularly fond of cats, but this is not a mandatory rule, but rather an observation.
Cats don't have to be liked by everyone; some people simply prefer other animals, finding them cuter. But if a person hates cats, there is an explanation for this in the form of a number of psychological reasons.
If a man loves cats
Well, now let’s return to the main topic: how to determine a man’s character by his attitude towards animals? Let's start with cats. A man who gets a cat can rightfully be considered a nonconformist. He has a high intelligence and prefers solitude. And here you need to clarify with your companion: has he already got a cat or does he just like them? Because a bachelor with a cat (especially a cat) is a very self-sufficient person, and it will take a lot of time and effort to win his heart. But he will never tie the knot. If a man just likes cats, then he will recognize a woman’s right to her independence and will respect her decisions.

There is no consensus among psychologists about which men choose cats. Some argue that cat people are strong and confident men who are able to take care of the weak. Others say that such guys, even if they look like tough and unapproachable macho men, are tender, vulnerable, touchy and even vindictive at heart. It is also believed that such men lack in their own character the independence and self-esteem that felines possess.
However, everyone agrees on one opinion: men associate cats with women. And one old folk sign says: if a man loves a cat, then he will love his wife.
Psychology of cats - features
Everyone knows that cats are independent.
To understand how much, you can pay attention to the scientific fact: dogs “get infected” by yawning from people, but cats never repeat it after a person.
Considering the fact that repeating a yawn after someone is related to such a feeling as empathy, this perfectly explains the psychology and attitude of cats towards humans.
If you want to get a kitten, it is recommended to take into account the peculiarities of the psychology of these animals:
- Cats openly express their attitude towards humans, and not only in general, but also at a certain moment . You can often see this behavior from a pet - the cat lies on its back, clasps the owner’s leg with its front paws, and begins to make intense movements with its hind paws, similar to beating. At the moment, the pet is actually hitting the person, and not playing with him. The animal beats with its front paws - it shows its reluctance to communicate, trying to show the person that he needs to leave.
- Games . Cats are designed in such a way that they do not perceive uniform movements for a long time, simply cutting them off. This is why many owners are perplexed why their pets do not want to play with a new toy, quickly losing interest in it. If you make impetuous movements with the toy, impulsively waving it and periodically pausing, Murka will be delighted with such a game. And evenly waving, like a fan, will lead to the fact that after 30 seconds the cat will stop perceiving the object and will look through it.
- You can train a cat . The only paradox is that this takes too much time, during which a person, without realizing it, will be raised by his pet.
- For a cat, the owner is not the one who feeds him and cleans the litter box . The owner is the one who took the kitten in his arms after the mother, who raises it, even if this is punishment for pranks. And the one who feeds is just a “feeder”.
Having trouble raising a cat? It's not about her mental abilities, but about her approach to this issue. To raise a cat, you should act consistently and not rush. If an animal decides that the manipulations that a person performs with it are just nagging and a manifestation of the owner’s bad mood, it will continue to do its dirty tricks. Or it may react differently: take offense at the owner and deliberately commit unpleasant pranks.
Features of behavior:
- There is an opinion that certain breeds have a tendency towards aggression. It is not true. The pet’s malicious behavior and tendency to do “bad things” are only the result of a lack of proper attention and education, which spoils the animal’s character. With equal probability, notes of aggression in behavior can be observed in an active Siamese cat that is not properly handled, and in a British cat, endowed with a phlegmatic disposition by nature, but by chance finds himself in a family with noisy and overly active household members.
- Cats don't like dogs - not because they see them as competitors or are afraid of being their prey. This hostility is explained by the peculiarities of cats’ perception. They do not like sudden movements (unless they are made by potential prey). If a dog runs around a cat, it will not understand what they want from it - to eat or play. The result of such encounters is the same - in case of close contact, the dog will receive claws on the nose as a precaution.
- Rumbling in cats is a sign not only of complete relaxation and pleasure, but also a way to attract attention. And if the animal does not immediately get what it wants, the rumbling intensifies. If we draw an analogy, it is comparable to the human “ahem.”
- Cats are extremely rarely able to remember a specific person. At the same time, their associative connections are configured in an amazing way. For example, a cat will consider all men to be veterinarians if one was a doctor with whom he had previously been in contact. Cats also have associations based on smell. If a scented guest cuddled and caressed a cat, she will henceforth associate this smell with tenderness and attention to herself.
- When purchasing a kitten, the owner may rack his brain for a long time over a suitable nickname, while assuming that cats are unlikely to remember and understand their names. In fact, cats remember nicknames very well, however... they don’t always respond to them. When the owner calls the cat by name, she wonders whether she should go, whether she will get something pleasant in return, or whether it is better to continue to lie lazily and mind her own business. In most cases, the second option wins.
Good moms
Many people are accustomed to thinking that any cat has an incredibly developed maternal instinct, which it shows not only in relation to its kittens, but also to human cubs. It is not always so. There are cats that don’t particularly care for their offspring, caring for and raising kittens only because no one else will do it for her.
There is also the opposite situation - a cat who is a supermom. She is really ready to babysit not only her own kittens, even if they are already adults, but also strangers, not allowing their own mother near them. Cats are amazing and completely unpredictable animals that do not always fit into certain behavioral patterns.
Breed and character
If he keeps a dog of an aggressive breed at home, he may turn out to be a very tyrannical person. Here are some examples:
- The owner of the Tibetan Mastiff will be a man with an iron will and a sound mind. He will not allow violence in dealing with people and is always ready to help. The problem is that these people are usually lonely, and in order to get such a noble man as a husband, you will have to “tame” him long and hard.
- Great Danes are liked by men with a cheerful disposition, but a rather frivolous attitude towards life.
- The owner of a Shar Pei will be capable of any rash actions, for example, such as buying something large and unnecessary. It’s good that they then bear full responsibility for their actions.
- A strong and discreet man without bad habits will choose a Rottweiler. He will protect and provide everything necessary, but you shouldn’t expect any interesting events from him.
- The owner of the Laika will be an interesting person who will value strength and independence in women. He has a subtle sense of humor, but he does not tolerate being bossed around.
- But if a man brags about a bulldog, then it’s better to forget this acquaintance. He chose this breed of dog not by chance, but so that through it he could throw out into the world all the negativity that was accumulating in his soul.
- Terriers will be chosen by determined and active people who love to work. True, such men rarely reach heights in their careers. They like the process more than the end result.
Man - friend or feeding slave
Even the most affectionate, sweet and gentle pet can at any moment wag its tail and leave a person, stopping communication with him for a while.
Unlike devoted dogs, who are ready to follow their owner everywhere with inexhaustible love, cats prefer to maintain independence and a bit of disdain in their relationships with humans.
Features of the relationship between cats and people:
- According to the research of anthrozoologist John Bradshaw, the cat perceives a person as a “brother-in-law,” only a very large and safe one.
- The owner’s “lisping” with the cat, “intimate” conversations with him or addressing him as a small child, and not as an animal - all this is a desire to endow a cute pet with qualities characteristic of a person.
- Although cats have been kept as pets by people for a long time, they are not as close to their owners as dogs. This is due to the peculiarities of the period of their domestication. When taming dogs, a person communicated with him on equal terms, because the task was to make the dog understand them. With cats it's a different story. A person needed them to protect his house from mice. Cats lived next to people, but at the same time they existed as if in a parallel world.
- For the mustachioed and striped people, man is not the center of the world. No matter how gentle and affectionate a pet may be, you should not expect bright manifestations of feelings and the same reciprocal love from him. Cats live their own lives, occasionally allowing close contact with people, and only when they want it.
- When a cat brings a caught mouse into the house, many owners are touched, believing that the pet wants to share a meal with them. However, the purr is not capable of such “generous” actions. He simply brought his prey to a quiet place where no one would lay claim to it.
- The cat demonstrates its disposition towards the person and the desire to receive affection and attention from him accordingly - he begins to rub against the owner’s legs and expose his head, tilting it to the side, so that he can be scratched behind the ear. The cat will behave the same way towards its fellow tribesmen.
When placing high hopes on your pet, expecting absolute obedience and good behavior from him, you should remember that a person is not the cat’s owner, but only his big “neighbor” who feeds and cares for him.
Man and cat. What can you find out...

All of us - cat lovers and cat ladies - simply love to talk about our cats and cats: our cat this, our fat and lazy bastard that. But at the same time, we don’t even realize how much our pets can tell about us. And not just tell, but reveal to the initiate all the secrets of our soul and personality. And so as not to be unfounded, today I decided to talk about what can be learned about a single man by the gender and character of his cat, and therefore how a man treats his cat. I'll start with the gender of the pet. Because it is he who is incredibly important when drawing up a psychological portrait of a man - a lonely man, an attractive partner for marriage or a romantic relationship, living alone in his own or rented housing. And so: If a man gets a CAT, this means that he is internally not only ready, but also dreams of marriage. I’ll tell you below what his cat’s temperament says and the man’s attitude towards her. In the meantime, I am the witch Olga, I will draw only one conclusion - a man dreams of having a girlfriend or wife so much that he is no longer able to wait for the realization of his dreams, and therefore he filled the empty space next to him with a cat brought from the bird market.
Should you be jealous? Oh no, no need to be jealous! But still, be prepared for the fact that at first you will still have to fight for the heart of a man, in which even if he decides that you are his soul mate or destiny, the cat will occupy at least 50% of the space.
If a man has a CAT, it means he doesn’t have enough friends. And the bigger (fatter, if you will) the cat, the more he is allowed, the more alarming you should be. Because this means that friends will always be much more important to this man than you.
VICTIM OF WAR. Let me draw your attention to what is allowed to meow or purr. If an animal is forced to live under the sofa, treating the territory of the apartment as a jungle full of dangers or a place of street fighting, then in front of you (we mean the owner) is a hidden domestic sadist. Unsure of himself, full of complexes, he chose an unfortunate animal for self-realization, bullying him to such an extent that all evening he, without blinking, looks at you from the dusty, fuzzy darkness.
IF AN ANIMAL IS ALLOWED EVERYTHING - it jumps on the table, it tears wallpaper and furniture, it meows deafeningly at the first smell of delicious food, then this also does not characterize a man from the best side. Before you is a weak, spineless person, unable to withstand even the slightest difficulties. Such a man will always adhere to only one model of behavior - immediately give up, immediately bend, immediately follow the lead. And therefore, if you are looking for someone who will build a career, develop well, thanks to which he can then support his family, and at the same time allow you to wipe your nose with praise about his successes to your friends, then you have found the wrong one.
COMPANION CAT - he is allowed to go gray in a certain place, he is introduced to you (and not vice versa!), he has his own bowl, his own basket, his own post for scratching his claws, his own tray. What can we say? You got an excellent man who knows how not only to organize the reality around him, but also to achieve his own without suppressing anyone around him. He will also treat you with attention, respect and even care. But only until you start missing the tray.
"POOR LITTLE PUSSY." There are many men who treat their cats as if they are not able to digest food on their own and move around the apartment without the help of a miniature wheelchair. Having entered the house, they immediately grab the cat in their arms and immediately begin to lisp, talking about it (and they can talk about the cat all evening). Be sure to feed her several times. They check her ears, eyes and always under her tail several times. They ask hundreds of questions: “How did you live?!”, “Did you miss you?!”, “Glad I came?!”…
There is no reason for joy in such behavior. Here is a man who will love you only as long as you pretend to have late-stage cancer or a spinal fracture. As soon as you show yourself as a strong, independent person, he will immediately leave you, since he is satisfied with only one type of love - safe - love for those who are completely and unconditionally dependent on him.
"DO WHAT YOU WANT". If you listen carefully to the man, you will find out that the cat appeared in their apartment by accident. The animal was picked up freezing, dying of starvation or parasites, or suffering from wounds. The man brought him, cured him, tried to establish contact. Contact failed. But the man left the animal, and although now he hardly communicates with him, he still makes sure that he has a full drinking bowl and bowl, and always clean sand in the tray.
Before you is not a man, but a treasure! He will always be honest and will never betray. And if you can love him, then it is almost guaranteed that he will love you in order to stay with you until the end, and be just as caring, kind and sweet until his very old age.
THE SMELL OF CAT URINE. As soon as you smell it, immediately turn on the internal “DANGER!!!” signal. If the whole apartment, to put it mildly, smells of a cat, if there are leftovers of food and scraps of fur here and there, and the cat also sleeps where he wants, without leaving a single intact chair, then in front of you is an active or retired alcoholic (and I I'm talking about a man). Or a person who treats all aspects of life, including family, with the complete indifference of a drunkard or drug addict.
It will never matter to him whether you get pregnant or not, whether you have something to eat and what to wear, whether your children with him are fed and healthy. He will always live on his own, and his family members will live separately. Moreover, even if you spend your life under the same roof, you will never be able to get over the wall of spiritual indifference with which a man has surrounded himself, or drag him over this wall to yourself.
OWNER OF THE MEDAL CHAMPION. This man's cat will be a rare and (and they will definitely tell you this more than once) very expensive breed. The entire wall will be hung with orders sewn from bright ribbons. The pet's tray will stand almost in the middle of the room. And the refrigerator will mainly store his food. They will offer you: - I buy calf liver for the cat at the market. Should I fry a piece?
To refuse or not is your choice. Something else is important - before you is a boor, a hysterical woman and a complete egoist. The cat is just a thing for him that he can be proud of. The cat interests him only as long as it is capable of winning and producing kittens. He is not friends with her, does not talk or play. He even shows it off like a collar cut from rare fur. And in the same way, once you become his, he will show you off, provided that at least something in your appearance or position will allow him to be proud of you.
ROLLER COASTER. Men who make various funny, and sometimes even designer, things for their cats deserve undeniable attention. We mean various cathouses - pipes and shelves hung on the walls and under the ceiling so that the animals can feel like they are among the wild. As well as building houses, complex running wheels, mechanisms for throwing toys, claw sharpeners and much more. Such a man, oddly enough, is the most normal of all. Firstly, he takes care of the pet, and a priori will take care of both you and your children. And, secondly, and no less important, you will never be bored with him, since he will always come up with something to color your life with him.
“AND THIS IS MY CAT!” This man brings you to his place, the cat runs towards him, the man catches it with one hand, lifts it, shows it, and with a smile says the phrase I have already voiced, “This is my cat!” and immediately releases the cat. After that, he notices his pet only when it jumps onto his or your lap. And the rest of the man’s time and attention belongs only to you. At the same time, the apartment is clean, there is no smell, the furniture is intact, and there is no wool lying around anywhere. And if a man thinks about whether his pet is full, he does it silently, without interrupting you, most likely, just looking at the bowl in the corner.
Here is the healthiest attitude towards a cat that a truly full-fledged man can demonstrate. And he is self-confident, mentally stable, friendly and reliable, like household appliances produced in the middle of the last century. With such a man you will feel calm, happy and happy. With one exception - if he wants to cheat on you, he will cheat on you. The truth is that he will definitely return home, because he never forgets about those who trust him and those who wait for him, without trying to limit his freedoms.
But a purebred cat or a male cat, or a mongrel picked up at the entrance, you almost don’t need to pay attention. Although many psychologists argue that the breed of a cat can also tell a lot about the character and disposition of the owner. But if you are interested in the topic, I will continue it in a separate article. © Witch Olga

Interesting facts about the psychology and behavior of cats
Cats are unique creatures, but sometimes people find their behavior strange and funny:
- Each cat has his own preferences regarding the appearance of the female. One male may be completely indifferent when he sees a tortoiseshell or red cat near him, and show intense interest when he meets a black cat.
- Many cats at shows get very nervous because of the large number of people and unfamiliar surroundings. These nerves manifest themselves in constant tail twitching. This is easy to deal with - the owner pinches the tip of the tail with his fingers, returning it to a static position, and the cat immediately calms down. The effect is triggered - there is no opportunity to show your nervousness - which means there is no nervousness itself.
- Cats have a sense of humor, but a “peculiar” one. Their favorite pastime is to quietly get close to another cat and scare him with his sudden appearance.
Cat tongue or how to understand a pet
Considering the peculiar and extremely capricious nature of cats, it is quite possible to make life with them comfortable for both parties if you learn to understand pets, recognizing their mood and desire by certain postures and sounds made:
- Hisses - warns that he doesn’t like how they treat him (read more about why cats hiss).
- Snorting - wants to divert attention from himself, in the same way he can express confusion and surprise.
- Grumbles - shows an extreme degree of dissatisfaction.
- Rumbling in a low range - ready for his own defense, which means he is extremely wary of the current situation.
- “Meow,” said briefly, is a greeting.
- Smacks his lips or clicks his teeth - he shows the instinct of a hunter, but at the same time he shows irritation that he was unable to catch the prey.
- He purrs - he is absolutely satisfied with his position.
- “Meow”, played with a slight hoarseness, shows gratitude and good attitude.
Poses and their explanation:
- Sits, covering his paws with his tail - complete moral and physical relaxation, absolute calm. In this position, it can watch with interest its owner or what is happening outside the window.
- Shifts from paw to paw, rubs against a person’s legs - this is how a pet greets its household members.
- Rubbing its head against a person’s legs or his face shows openness and complete disposition towards the owner.
- The back arches - it’s scary.
- The fur stands on end, the paws straighten sharply, the body is raised high - it feels threatened.
- Lying with his stomach up is a posture of thoughtfulness, dozing.
- The tail is raised up - the animal is calm and friendly.
- A ruffled and drooping tail is an expression of complete confusion.
- The tail hanging down and tapping it on the floor is a sign of fear.
- It intensively wags its tail in different directions, the tip touches its paws - it is in an extreme state of irritability and can behave aggressively at any moment.
What the eyes will tell you. You can also understand a cat’s mood by the expression in its eyes:
- Eyelids are half-closed - relaxation, a feeling of peace and absolute calm.
- Eyes wide open - a manifestation of incredible interest.
- The pupils are greatly dilated - fear and fright.
- Looking away to the side - she is ready to obey and do what her owner wants from her.
- Looks into a person's eyes, ears directed forward - interest, desire to communicate or receive a treat.
Knowing how a cat shows emotions, you can predict its desires and needs, assess your pet’s readiness to make contact or its desire to be alone.
