People love their pets, even though they can be real manipulators sometimes.
We already know that sociable and intelligent dogs can manipulate their owners well, but what about cats?
Let's find out more about the ways your fluffy friend uses it to get what it wants.
Vocalizations
Cats often use meowing and purring as forms of communication.
They quickly learn that certain vocalizations can elicit specific responses from their owners, such as being fed or receiving attention.
Body Language
Cats utilize body language to convey affection and seek attention.
Actions like rubbing against their owner's legs or sitting on personal belongings are ways they express their desires for closeness.
Eye Communication
Cats employ their eyes to communicate effectively.
Prolonged eye contact, slow blinking, or dilated pupils can convey various messages, from hunger to a desire for play or simply wanting to be close.
Reinforcement of Behaviors
Cats are quick learners, especially when it comes to cause and effect.
If a cat discovers that certain behaviors result in rewards, such as treats or playtime, they are likely to repeat those actions to attain what they want.
Training Owners
Cats can train their owners through consistent behaviors that lead to positive outcomes.
Whether it's manipulating owners to open doors, provide comfortable resting spots, or offer tasty treats, cats learn to use their actions to influence their human companions.
