This hostile attitude of cats and dogs has attracted the attention of scientists. Dr r from an animal research institute in Israel specializes in this problem.
The subjects chosen by the doctor are a German short-haired cat and a Spanish long-haired dog. They are almost the same age, both under two years old, which is the time to be lively and active. They have been with their peers since birth and have never met each other.
Dr. R put them in the same laboratory and let them adapt to each other first. Before long, the two little guys had the intention of further contact.
However, the problem followed. The long-haired dog wagged its tail vigorously and extended a paw to show its kindness-this is dog language, which means "come and play with me" or "give me something to eat". But the short-haired cat doesn't understand what this means. On the contrary, it is very annoyed, because the action of wagging its tail and extending its claws just expresses the opposite meaning in the cat's language, that is, "go away, or you're welcome!" "
Short-haired cat immediately alert, ready to fight. After a long time, it didn't take much effort to find a long-haired dog. Perhaps in order to ease the atmosphere, he took the initiative to express his "goodwill" to the dog-making a comfortable "purring" sound, which means: "Let's play together". But this kind of voice is provocative in the dog's speech, which means "let me go, or you will die." The long-haired dog couldn't stand it, and immediately barked.
Dr. R then continued this experiment with many cats and dogs. The results show that the hostile complex between cats and dogs is not innate, and the feud between them is caused by misunderstanding in language translation and cannot be explained. It is really "more and more chaotic".
In fact, there are also examples of cats and dogs living in harmony. That's because they lived together as soon as they were born, and both of them mastered a "foreign language". There is no misunderstanding in communication, so they can bury the hatchet. In addition, people can't impose their will on animals. Dog owners hate cats, and cat owners don't like dogs. People's emotions will be transmitted to the small animals around them, which will make them hate each other inadvertently.
