the cat has personality?

If you think that the personality you have, so she has cats.



You know your cat? Your pet is extroverted or shy? Impulsive or cautious? Greedy? Jealous? Playful naughty? br>
the Study of animal personality (under the personality in this case refers to stable behavioral patterns) has a rich history. There are lots of works that explore the personality traits of chimpanzees, dogs, pigeons, mice, and even spiders. However, it is still done relatively little to understand the personality of the cats, which we know best. Pet cats keep millions, we share them with shelter and even largely obey their rules. br>
Carl Litchfield in the recently published study "the Five personality traits of domestic cats" studied their characteristics on the basis of a large sample. The purpose of the study was twofold: to create a personal profile psychologically healthy cats and to help owners and veterinarians to improve the care of these animals, facilitating their maintenance of the house. br>
Cats are much more social than most people perceive. Their behavior is determined by the presence of other animals in the house or in the neighborhood, and strongly associated with the mood of the owners. br>
Lack of attention to social and emotional needs of the animal may be detrimental to his health. In particular, many urban cats experience chronic stress as a consequence of the lack of control over their environment. br>
the results of the study helped to identify five major personality factors: neuroticism, dominance, impulsivity, conformity (complaisance, benevolence) and extraversion.

Research of interest to pet owners, as it helps to better understand your cat and provide him the environment that will have a positive impact on his health and mental well-being. br>
for Example, Pets that received the highest score on a scale of neuroticism (fearful, wary, distrustful) need large amounts of secretive havens and secret areas in the house. Cats with low levels of neuroticism (fearless and confident) with access to the street, at risk of lost to start to wander and, thus, an infection or illness. Vaccination of these animals is imperative. Cats that have high indicators on a scale of extroversion (smart, savvy, curious, creative) can easily get bored if you have a long time to stay home alone, needing more stimulation, and often games. br>
knowledge of the characteristics of the personality of your cat will help you to monitor the state of her health. The change in her behavior – for example, when active, sociable cat suddenly starts to avoid interaction – can indicate hidden medical problems. br>
Joint assessment of the individual cat and its potential owner increases the chances of successfully finding a home animals from the shelter. For example, introverts do not tend to communicate more often and play with your pet, you will hardly find a common language with a highly social, outgoing, playful cat.
