Cats, often perceived as aloof, evoke a love-hate relationship. They typically prefer to lazily lie in a comfortable spot and sleep, ignoring their owners' calls. However, if you think a cat doesn't love you, you're mistaken. When you come home from get off work, it will come out to check on you with concern. When you're engrossed in your own tasks, it will quietly stay by your side. These are all ways cats express their affection.
However, some people have observed that when their owners are in danger, dogs' first reaction is to run to their rescue, while cats' reactions often leave their owners feeling helpless, so don't expect them to come to your rescue. A guy abroad owned a tortoiseshell cat. The cat was usually quite aloof, but the guy always felt that the cat loved him and could always feel its warmth in small ways. He didn't believe his cat would "leave him to die," so he conducted a test.
One day, he pretended to drown in his swimming pool. A cat that happened to be passing by saw its owner struggling in the water and called out the cat's name loudly. If a dog saw its owner like that, it would definitely jump in without hesitation to pull its owner out. When this tortoiseshell cat saw its owner, it looked shocked and its expression showed that it was very worried about what had happened to its owner. Seeing the cat's attitude, the young man was secretly pleased: See, my cat is worried about me.
Seeing its owner sinking lower and lower, the cat finally reacted. It jumped off the platform with a serious expression, as if it was going to save its owner. Everyone knows that cats are afraid of water, so if the cat was willing to go into the water to save its owner, then it really loves its owner. The guy thought that if the cat went into the water, he would immediately pick it up and vowed to love the cat even more in the future. Although it is usually very aloof, it is still willing to step forward in critical moments.
Unexpectedly, the cat walked to the poolside and lazily lay down, completely ignoring its owner who was already "floating" in the water. "I'm just afraid of water, I can't go down to save you!" the cat seemed to say. The guy, who had been soaking in the water for a long time without the cat coming to rescue him, climbed out with a disappointed look. Should he punish this cat? He usually feeds it well and treats it well, but it's so calm. Doesn't its conscience hurt? The cat seemed to say, "What can I do? I'm just a little kitten."
Netizen comments: Hahaha, forgive me for laughing so hard my abs are showing! The cat didn't disappoint me in the end. This is how cats usually behave. Actually, the cat knew you were faking it, so it didn't go down to save you. It didn't want to play games with you. Dogs are so naive; they believe everything their owners do. I've seen many videos of dogs pretending to faint, and they're always very anxious, trying to save their owners. But the cat just looks like it's seen through the world and doesn't want to cooperate!
