Although cats are very popular pets, they still only belong to a semi -domesticated animal. They are sometimes cute and sometimes cold. They are always swimming between domestication and wildness -they can be close to humans, or they can I will be bravely adventure at any time.

Even if the cat is eaten by human beings, it is not worried about eating and drinking, but still cannot change their longing and pursuit of "spectacles" in their bones.

Therefore, people often nicknamed — cats have forgotten the owner.

Especially some pure stray cats who have never had the master, even if you insist on eating it and sincerely adopt it, the cats may not be appreciated, and may not even let you touch it. It will be alert to the human world. psychology.

And changing to a dog, no matter how old it grows, how strong it grows, as long as your owner has a stomach, it will say "嗷" and pinch the tail.

Obviously, unlike omnipotent dogs, cats are carnivorous animals. In other words, they are natural killers.

Whether it is the volume or aggressiveness, except for the meow star who is semi -domesticated, other cats are almost not domesticated by humans.

Of course, the most important reason is that human beings alone can't beat them alone.

Catal animal hunting methods are ambush. Although they usually squint their eyes and look lazy, they have a strong explosive power.

Don't look at tigers, lions, or cheetahs first, just say how powerful ordinary cats are.

It can jump up directly from the ground and rush to your face stretching the paw, jump nearly two meters at a very fast speed.

An adult male leopard cat (weighing 3-4 kg) with sufficient muscles, and the power of struggling with limbs, making it difficult for a 150 pound of adult men to catch it.

The kind of 3kg heavy -sized Sanhua little cat, really wants to launch crazy, and get two experienced people to block her at least two thick blankets in the corner to barely capture it.

As a result of human cat "fighting", the blood stains of human beings are always full of blood.

Not to mention how sharp the cat's curved claws are, depending on its teeth, it is also 1 cm long. A angry cat can bite through the 2mm thick lead cannibus gloves.

In addition, the cat's attack is high and sensitive. Whether it is a plastic box in a claw, or bite your hand with a sip, everything happens in the light of the electric light, and does not give the other party any chance of reaction.

There is also the piercing on the tongue, which is "gentle" and licked, which is quite enough for you to drink a pot.

So, let's look back, why is the largest -volume Minson cat's personality is the most tame?

This is also used as a large pet cat (the average weight can reach 15-25 kg, and the length of the body is about 120cm).

Therefore, in the screening session of human beings on the screen of Maine cats, it is very high for good social acceptance and more docile personality.

After all, humans can't risk that risk, with the big piece of Maine Cat, coupled with the cat's "predator" attack ability, as long as there is a slightly unstable personality, it is likely that it will come out of life.

If the cat's body is amplified ten times, the muscle mass, speed, bite force, canine teeth length. In simple terms-leopard (the average weight of African cheetah is basically about 50-55kg).

Take the weight of the leopard at 6, that is -tiger.

Obviously, you are too late to hide such a cat.

If you really like it, it is okay in the zoo to look across the glass.

Unless ... you are wearing a large white robe and the family on the top of your head.

In addition, as predators, these agile cats are generally nervous sensitivity. Once there is a wind blowing, it is often easy to make an excessive reaction. Especially in the seasons of seeking puppets, cats are full of strong desires, and they would rather pursue and howl for a long time, and they did not want to obey the arrangements. They barely combined for the breeding.

For example, the male cheetah in the wild needs to pursue the female cheetah for several days or even a few weeks, wait patiently to wait for the female to "bloom", and then "combine" each other.

But if you directly close the male and female leopards directly close the cage, it is likely that they refuse.

In fact, in the eyes of most humans, in general, the family of cats often exudes an irresistible charm, with an inexplicable sense of deterrence and majesty, and even a natural elegance.

Even if they are cats, they can live in a natural environment without relying on human beings (of course, the stray cat who "deceived food and drink" in the city said it separately).

Because of this, from ancient times to the present, the cats that humans have seen are generally independent and confident, so they feel that they are "mighty, elegant" -This is likely to all from a predation in our instinct. Dear .....

Then, in contrast, there are many opportunists in dogs, not top predators. For example, dogs or fox love to pick up human waste, or snatch or steal human food, so that humans see that they are prone to lack of respect, and even "dog legs", "dog slaves", "fox essence" like this, so Vocabulary of derogatory righteousness. Even the dog's loyalty to humans is extremely rare in the domesticated animals.
