We know cats are intelligent, unique creatures that can communicate with other cats, but can they learn new behaviors from cats or humans? The ability of cats to mimic and learn behavior begins early in life, especially cats that live outside homes because mimicry is the key to a kitten's ability to survive A cat quickly learns to copy skills such as hunting, hiding and cleaning from its mother so that it can survive It is true that some cat behaviors are based on instinct such as: Young cats also learn how to do things like use a litter box and take care of themselves thanks to their desire to imitate the mother. A study published in the journal Nature showed that cats weaned early from their mother suffered from weakness and a greater tendency to worry and show aggressive behavior The lack of close and sufficient contact with their mothers hindered learning Cats learn based on observation not only the tradition from which cats learn their behavior, one of the main ways to learn behavior is from observation and observation of other beings and cats, and it is by which cats learn how to navigate the street and home, cats spend most of their day staring at those around them, including homeowners and pet cats that share their amazing ability to observe their surroundings It is why cats recognize the routine of their owners and even learn to recognize the face and voice of their owner Cats teach each other appropriate cat behavior through actions instead of sounds allowed to play and others. Cat behavior is centered in large part around nonverbal communication Human behavior? Yes; Cats are independent creatures and have their own path different from other animals, so you may be surprised that cats love to imitate some humans sometimes in a study published on the site Science animal behaviorist Claudia Fogaza and dog trainer Higaki showed that cats can learn new behaviors by imitating the actions of their owners in the experiment Cats seem to see humans not as a separate species, but just as bigger and stronger cats, unlike dogs, which show clear evidence of different patterns of behavior with humans compared to others, so cats use the same behaviors to communicate with us As with other cats, cats imitate the behavior of their breeders. We may notice that cats can adapt their personalities to the personalities of their human owners. A study published in the journal PLOS ONE says that pet cats can begin to mimic the personality of their owner, especially when it comes to joy and nervousness. Eventually, cats are born as a duplicate of other cats because they acquire their basic skills by mimicking the actions of their mothers and cats Surrounding. Cats are observational learners who gain knowledge by watching and then reversing what they see from other cats.
