It's a common belief that over time pet owners start to look like their animals. Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and mimic their behavior.
人們普遍認(rèn)為,時間久了寵物主人會變得越來越像自己的寵物。而現(xiàn)在卻有“可怕”的消息表示,喵星人竟能以主人為榜樣,模仿主人的一舉一動!
Next time you reach for that Krispy Kreme, think twice. If your cat is watching, she may be prone to overeating as well.
下次你再伸手去拿卡卡圈坊甜甜圈時,還是先三思一下吧。要是碰巧被你家的貓咪看見了,下次她可能也會饕餮暴食哦!
What is your cat's IQ?
你家喵星人的智商是多少?
In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that cats who live intimately with their owners (indoor cats that live in a small space) "mirror" the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behavior of their owners.
墨西拿大學(xué)一項新研究表明,與主人親密生活的喵星人(這里指活動空間狹小、愛在室內(nèi)活動的喵星人),會“模仿”它們的主人的生活習(xí)慣。他們同寢共食,甚至主人們愛不愛社交生活,也會影響它們的行為。
"Cats are intelligent animals with a long memory," Jane Brunt, veterinarian and the executive director of the CATalyst Council, told Discovery News. "They watch and learn from us, (noting) the patterns of our actions, as evidenced by knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that's been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas are."
“貓是很聰明的動物,記憶力很強(qiáng)?!?簡-布朗特對探索新聞網(wǎng)站的記者表示。布朗特小姐是名獸醫(yī),也是CATalyst Council公司的執(zhí)行董事。她說:“貓會觀察人類并向人類學(xué)習(xí)。通過觀察人們的行為模式,它們會知道食物放在哪里,什么時候可以吃飯,怎么打開不經(jīng)意關(guān)閉的碗柜門,以及該在什么地方吃飯或便便?!?/div>
Because cats mimic our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why "human and cat obesity rates often seem to match." So, if you felt guilty about leaving your precious kitty at home while you go to work, now you can feel even worse: You are making your cat fat!
因為喵星人會模仿人類習(xí)慣,所以如果你經(jīng)常翻騰冰箱,喵星人也可能會半夜跑到食盆前吃上兩口。研究表明,這恰好闡釋了“人類與貓的肥胖率經(jīng)常相似”的原因。那么,如果你因自己上班只能把寶貝貓咪留在家里而感到內(nèi)疚,現(xiàn)在可能更加不安了:是你一手造成了你家喵星人發(fā)胖!
There's no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to Yoga will benefit your cat, but based on the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping schedule is best for both of you.
雖然并無證據(jù)表明主人喝綠茶或練瑜伽也能幫到喵星人,但根據(jù)研究,健康飲食和規(guī)律睡眠似乎對你和喵星人都很有益。
There's a lot we can learn from our feline friends in return. "When they sit on our lap softly purring with rhythmic breathing and half-closed eyes, the sense of serenity and calm that comes over us is like a private lesson in inner peace and meditation," Brant said. Sure. But cats don't have to sit in rush hour traffic for an hour a day or worry about their in-laws. They're probably pretty good at remaining calm.
相反我們也能從喵星人身上學(xué)到很多?!懊看芜餍侨硕自谖覀兿ヮ^半瞇著眼睛打呼嚕時,平靜和安寧感便油然而生,真像是親密地教我們?nèi)绾巫龅絻?nèi)心祥和與冥思?!?布朗特說。確實如此。但喵星人又不用每天花一小時擠公交,更不會為那些親家們煩惱,或許它們天生就這么淡定吧。
So, according to science, even though we assumed that cats were aloof jerks all these years, it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?
所以,即便我們這些年來一直以為喵星人只是冷漠的怪咖,但根據(jù)科學(xué)闡釋,事實卻證明它們竟然一直在學(xué)習(xí)并模仿我們。是不是有點小嚇人?
