A recent study that was done by Oregon State University revealed that cats get stressed when owners leave them alone.
The new study debunks the belief that dogs love their pet owners more than cats.
The study concluded that cats feel stressed when their owners leave them alone inside a room, and they feel secure when they come back.
Researchers from the Oregon State University used the same attachment tests that are performed on dogs to check out their loyalty.
In the study, 70 kittens were placed in one room with their owners for 2 minutes.
The owners would then leave out the room for 2 minutes and would return back to take care of the kittens.
When the owners left their cats alone, the kittens would show stress signs, which are similar to dogs and babies.
64 percent of the cats showed fewer stress signs during the reunion with their owner than during the separation.
36 percent of the kittens showed insecure attachment and showed stress signs when they got reunited with their owners.
Prof Daniel Mills, an expert in veterinary behavioral medicine from the University of Lincoln, said, “I think cats do emotionally bond with their owners, I just don’t think that at present we have any convincing evidence that this is a form of psychological attachment in the normal psychological sense.”
Don’t leave your cats alone folks.
