Sometimes cats may not be interested in people.

In this article, we will tell you why this can happen.

Why do cats ignore humans

Sometimes cats deliberately ignore their owner.

According to scientists, this behavior is the result of adaptation of small predators to humans.

The cat develops a certain algorithm of behavior that is opposite to the usual “dog-master”.

This is often due to the fact that cats are solitary by nature and therefore are not interested in people or other animals.

However, this does not always happen. Most cats show interest and affection in their own special way.

For example, if a cat comes into your room or meets you after work.

In addition, avoidance of a person may indicate stress in the animal.

Cats are susceptible to prolonged stress due to sadness, fear and jealousy.

These animals are afraid of loneliness and are very worried about the lack of attention from their owners, and even more so because of the departure or loss of the owner or another family member to whom the pet was attached.

Therefore, it may not be ignorance, but fear and stress.
