Woman Finds Out And Posts Pictures Of How Cats Would React If You Suddenly Died At Home

ADVERTISEMENT

Cats are pretty mysterious creatures. Most of the time, they seem confident, independent, and chill, and their unique personalities sometimes make people wonder whether these animals truly care about their owners. You see, with dogs, it’s pretty easy to tell—most of them are quite outgoing, energetic, and affectionate towards their humans. And sometimes even towards ALL humans in general.

According to a study that was conducted last year by Dr. Kristyn Vitale and a team, cats actually display the same main attachment styles as dogs and babies. “Cats that are insecure can be likely to run and hide or seem to act aloof. There’s long been a biased way of thinking that all cats behave this way. But the majority of cats use their owner as a source of security. Your cat is depending on you to feel secure when they are stressed out,” The author told Metro. But let’s be real, most cat owners already knew that.

And even though science backs up the belief that cats truly love us, is still pretty funny to joke about their “cold” and “distant” personality. For instance, here are some pics that this user shared on Twitter that sort of summarize what your cat would do if you suddenly died at home.

So people think cats are stupid enough to believe a fake skeleton is a person? Or could it possibly be that cats just like to sit on laps?

Can confirm: cats just love laps. They don't care whose it is. Human, pupper, plastic skeleton.

A fake skeleton or plush that 1) does not smell like anyone in the household, and 2) is not rotting. For 3) let’s just remember that these cats are being fed. It has been noted that, if their owner(s) die but are not discovered for a few days, starving pets will turn to the only edible meat on the premises. In extreme conditions, humans have done the same. It’s not disrespect, it’s survival.

ANd people are stupid enough to think that when you've been dead for 3 days and no one has the cat, the cat won't eat you.

And they put nice, soft blankets on these "laps". And sat the skeletons on sofas, probably where the cats normally sit.

Cats aren't that dumb, they can smell you, they also recognise your face. As any cat given a fake mouse knows......thats not real.

We tricked our cat with a toy mouse we had just bought, holding it like it was real then pretended it leapt from my hands. He was thrilled for 1.5 seconds, then sulked XD
