CAn ANIMALS tell the difference between female and male humans?
- Relationships between cats and their owners mirror human bonds, especially when the owner is a woman.
- Cats hold some control over when they are fed and handled, functioning very similar to human children in some households.
- While the age, gender and personality of owners affect these relationships, the gender of the cat doesn't seem to matter.
The bond between cats and their owners turns out to be far more intense than imagined, especially for cat aficionado women and their affection reciprocating felines, suggests a new study.
Cats attach to humans, and particularly women, as social partners, and it's not just for the sake of obtaining food, according to the new research, which has been accepted for publication in the journal Behavioural Processes.
Animals have more then one way to tell the gender of a person; they do this by detecting different odours (woman and men smell different); body language ( women and men carry themselves and present themselves differently)
