Just like Dogs, Cats Know When You're Sad and Happy

Michigan - For some people, the cat became an option as their beloved pets. Fluffy, with a cute little foot, and like spoiled ria. However, on the other hand, is still unclear how the cat looked human.
Some time ago, a study proving the cat does not need them to survive. Cat who likes to play itself does seem more 'cool' than a dog that has proven his loyalty. However, that does not mean a cat lover should be discouraged.

It turns out that cats have more attention to humans than we thought so far. Animals of the Felidae family is to know when we are happy or sad.
Recent research provides strong evidence that cats are sensitive to human emotion gestures. This research was conducted Moriah Galvan and Jennifer Vonk of Oakland University, Rochester, Michigan, to study 12 cats and their owners.
The results show, cats behave differently when their owners smile, than when they pout. When faced with employers who smile, cats tend to show a positive attitude. Such as snoring, or sitting on the lap of the owner.
Cats have different REACT on the facial expressions of sadness and happy man. cat when dealing with strangers. Smiling or not, the cat did not show a change

in attitude.
There are two estimates of the present invention: a cat could read human facial expressions, or learn this ability over time.
This is the first discovery, which revealed that cats have the same capacity with the dog in recognizing human facial expressions. Previously, only one study of the cat's ability to recognize human emotions. Published in January 2015, but the results are ambiguous.
Research from Galvan and Vonk shows that cats can recognize human emotions better than previously expected. This does not necessarily indicate the cat has a capacity of empathy as a human. Chances are, the cat learns to associate their owners smile like a gift. In other words, people tend to prefer to pamper cats when they're good mood.
Still, if the cat is not really able to understand the human mood, studies continue to show that cats can catch the nuances of human gestures.
Response cat 'flat' make it difficult to identify their emotions. "People want to know if the cat understand and pay attention to his employer," Vonk said the BBC. "Our results show that they are not considered to be as cold as people over the years."
It takes time to prove the emotional intelligence of this feline species. Because, their expressions are very difficult to uncover. Along with the attitude that is considered positive, as mendengkur-- Galvan and Vonk also found that cats can show a sense of satisfaction through postures, movement of the ears and tails.
By contrast, the same thing is found in dogs several years ago. These animals showed different responses on a happy face and angry. In a study conducted in 2011, dogs tend to avoid people who are angry.
Differences in response to cats and dogs can be traced back to prehistoric times. Dogs already in-domesticated (tamed and made into animal home) since early. The study of the genetics that was initiated this year showed that the process has been started since more than 30,000 years ago. As a comparison, there is a new domesticated cats 10,000 years ago, with the approximate location in the Middle East.
That way, the dog stronger response to the gestures of emotion could have been because they already live with humans live longer than cats.
However, now it's too early to draw such conclusions. Research on the mindset of the dogs had been more developed than similar research on cats. It might, in the end, the cat is known not just blatant in showing their emotions.
