Cats Like Human Contact More Than Food
Cat’s are known for their “I don’t care” mentality, however, a recent study proved that cats actually do care, and, if given the choice, would choose the company of a human to food, toys, or delicious scents.
The study, published in the journal Behavioral Processes, examined what happened when domestic and shelter cats were given different types of stimuli. The animals were asked to make a choice between food, toys, scent, and social interactions with humans.
In most of the cases, the cats chose social interactions over all other stimuli, proving that cat’s truly do love us, even if they sometimes like to pretend otherwise.
Cat Cuddling is the Future
Although the job may sound too good to be true, with the awareness for animal rights increasing internationally, jobs like this may be growing more popular. If you have got the travel bug, and you’re a huge cat lover, then check out Just Cats job posting here
