How smart is the cat?

Among all pets, the cat may be the fastest learning because it can acquire and retain information to find a solution to the problem. When an adult cat is placed in an unprecedented room, every corner and corner is inspected with the help of its instincts. According to behaviorists, the need for such “basic research” provides cats with important, survival information about his environment. Therefore, the statement that “curiosity kills a cat” is a misnomer because it actually gives the cat a reputation for nine lives.

The highlight of the cat’s wisdom lies in his ability to use the retained information to solve problems. Cats have the skills to form a “learning set” that used to be done only by primates. For example, when trained cats pull boxes on wheels, this suggests that they can combine this skill and insight to solve other problems.

For example, a cat pulls a box somewhere and uses it as a stool to get the reward he wants – just like the food hanging on the rope on the ceiling. Although no one knows their range of cognitive abilities, cats are still surprised by their superior ability.

Like humans, cats learn by observing, imitating, trying, and making mistakes. There are countless stories about the cat opening the door, by turning the door handle, ringing the doorbell, turning off the lights, opening the cabinet, and using the toilet according to the way they observe the owner doing the same thing. Many cat behaviorists and child psychologists believe that the intelligence of adult cats is the same as that of children aged 2 to 3. At this age, it’s no surprise that children are very smart and manipulating, so cats are better trainers than their owners.

Although cats are considered to be the smartest cats of all domestic animals, cat owners should understand the limitations of pet thinking processes because the attribution of human motivation to pet cats affects patients and requires a systematic approach to treating behavioral problems.

For example, cats don’t remember past or plan for the future. Therefore, for a pet cat, it is useless for a thing it has just done or when it is arrested, because the cat cannot establish a connection between action and punishment. Its behavior is not affected by retaliation by the owner or in the past. This can be attributed to the pressure of the actions of its owners.

The problem of cat behavior is caused by humans. When cats do not provide the necessary things to behave like cats, this will have a negative impact on their human masters.
