Cats Feel Emotions Better Than Humans - And They Are Intuitive Too

By Dilani Mallikarachchi

Understanding your cat will help you to lesser the conflicts you have with your loveable pet. Cats are really intelligent creatures. As they live side by side to us, they are much aware of our emotions and feelings too

I once read in a newspaper article, about a cat that lives in a hospital. It can feel when some one in the hospital is about to die. It has been stated that he would silently sleep on the patients bed, who is about to die. And even much educated people like doctors couldn't figure out how he felt that. But I think it is a pretty good example for cats understanding our feelings. In an incident like loss of a family member, they grieve as much as we do.

But we got to admit that they are not humans, so, we can't teach them anything in the way we teach our children. Cats would not ask questions and they act upon facts, the way they understand. Sometimes it will be something totally different from what you meant.

You don't have to be a cat to understand your loving cat. Your cat loves you, adore you for the way you are. If you spend little time with him, he will teach you lot of things about him. So you will be the teacher and same time the student.

Always try to be reasonable as we have the upper hand in strength, it doesn't mean we can always use it in a relationship. Be patient, never punish your pet. When your cat displayed a bad behavior, associate it with a negative consequence like a huge noise. Don't associate the negative incident with yourself by punishing. Otherwise it may send a wrong message to your cat that you are a scary person. Scratching biting and hunting are complete normal behaviors for cats. Their mothers taught them those. So, they look at you if you are insane to get upset for such thing. Provide them alternative to play or scratch without hurting yourself or damaging valuables.

A cats' mother will bring dead animals to her kitten to show that it is their source of survival. So, next time when your cat bring home a dead mouse or a bug, instead of being mad and picturing your pet as an evil cat in cartoons, think that he is trying to teach you the way of survival(for poor and helpless humans right).

Bad behaviors of cats are easily avoidable after knowing the tactics. Be sympathetic of your cat. After all he is living in a man made artificial world in the way we want. Nature hasn't gifted them many instincts about the world we human created. But they are willing to learn. So, teach them and make sure it is taught in a way they understand.

By understanding your cat you could have a greater relationship with your pet. And most importantly, he will have the most satisfied time with you. So, I wish you all the best.
