¿Los gatos pueden sentir celos? | Comprueba si tu gato es celoso 😾💔🙍‍♀️

To the stuffed animal or the cushion, Such as how handsome or well made. Okay, all of this is in japanese because it was done in japan. As I've already told you, the cat was witnessing both scenes at the same time. It couldn't get close to either the stranger or its human, but had to watch them from a distance. Throughout the study, the humans were not allowed to address the real cat, but rather, as I've said, the stuffed cat. That could be interpreted as a rival by the real cat. Chan, chan, chan. The second phase of the study was that they let the cat loose, and for 30 seconds, they watched how it reacted, Whether it approached its human, Whether it approached the stranger, Whether it interacted with the objects they had been petting, or did none of these things. And all of this was recorded so that the images could later be analyzed to see how the cat had behaved. Okay, so what happened with this study? What did the scientists learn? First of all, the cats at the salino cafe Reacted slightly less than the house cats, and that may be because these cats are more used to interacting with strangers. So that's probably why they had less marked behaviors Than cats that lived at home who got much closer to the object that their human had been holding. Oh, it sounds a bit strange, but okay, yes, their human relative had been petting the cushion. They got much closer to the cushion. And if they had been petting the cat, they got much closer to the cat. They smelled it. They even got right up to the cat. And another thing, at no time during the study Were any hisses or aggressive behaviors detected towards the cat. It wasn't towards the cushion or the stuffed cat. So they're not jealous. That's why we're going to discuss all that now. Note ahead, the scientists were a bit confused by the results, because to begin with, they saw that there was some type of behavior related to jealousy, Going to their human relative first, Smelling more the object that the human relative had been petting, and so on. These types of signs also occur in babies, in human babies around 6 months old. And it's also related to jealousy behavior. But they didn't see certain types of jealousy behavior that do develop in dogs. For example, like, for example, removing the stuffed cat that their human family member had been petting from them, pushing it away. Dogs do that. And also that lack of aggression towards the stuffed cat. Well, that puzzled the scientists a bit. And this led them to think that either cats don't express jealousy exactly the same as dogs, or they're less jealous, or cats are very smart and had realized right away that the cat was fake. A stuffed animal. It wasn't purring, it wasn't breathing, it wasn't doing anything. And so they said, well, I don't have to get mad at this thing that's never going to take my human family member away from me. But then, are jealous or not? Well, the study says that there are signs that they are and signs that they aren't. We're already talking about the memory video. Science sometimes moves slowly and that's why they recommend doing more studies to learn a little more about our feline companions. Anyway, I'll leave the direct link to the study below in the description box so you can take a look. And if you want to repeat it at home, then go ahead and repeat it. Hey, and one more thing. If you repeat it at home, leave me a comment to see how your cat reacted, to see if your cat is jealous or just a slacker. I'm also going to keep an eye on specialized scientific journals to see if any more ambitious or in depth studies come out and I'll bring them to you on the channel when they come out. So let's base ourselves on the study which has some evidence that suggests that cats can suffer from jealousy and everything we know, and you've also told me in the comments, let's move on to what can you do to correct this behavior? Associate your rival with something positive. Rival is the object or person or cat towards which the other cat shows jealousy. When the rival is around, you can give your cat treats or something succulent so that it sees that the other cat is not a threat and that you are also devoted to it. If the rival is another cat, you can encourage them to interact with each other a little, especially if you see that there is no strong aggressive behavior between them. For example, you can start playing with both of them at the same time, even if they are each in a different corner of the room. But they see that you are splitting up to spend time with both of them. If there is a lot of mistrust or aggression between them, I do not recommend that you make them play because they may not want to or they may even jump on each other. That is why it has to be with cats with whom even if you notice a little tension, you can see that things are not going to go any further. And if you see that they are becoming very aggressive with each other, prevent things from getting worse. How? Separating the cat that you see is being more aggressive, putting it in a room so that it can calm down and Relax for a period of time. Normally, all this usually passes in half an hour. And then you can start playing games or exercising with them. Again, avoid fights for other reasons. This almost always happens with cats. Each one should have its own food bowl, its own litter box, its own resting area. What I always say is very positive because this way you will not encourage a spark to fly that could start aggressive behavior between them. And if your cat is jealous of a specific person, you can start playing with it with scent games, using clothes from that person, blankets or sweaters, so that it sees that that person's smell does not imply any threat. I gave you some advice on how to introduce a new baby to a house where there's already a cat. I'll leave the video here for you. Go ahead and take a look. Oh, it's here. And let me refer to another video, please. Introductions between cats must be done properly. And pheromones. The end.

Yes, it's also true. And as Jose says, pheromones. The pheromones of feline friendship can help you in these types of situations. And if things don't improve with all this advice that I'm giving you in a 10 or 15 minute video, then obviously you'll have to go to the ethologist who will help you make everything go much better. Well, that's it. I hope you found this video interesting. I really like these types of studies. I find them very interesting because they help us get to know our feline companions a little better. You can also tell me in the comments or with your like, if these types of videos interest you, which I hope you do. And also tell me in the comments if your cat has ever suffered from jealousy, how you acted, what type of solution you gave it. Well, because it can also help the entire community of pets and happy families. And that's it for today's video. If you liked it, give it a like and I already told you to like it and share it with everyone. Like, remember to subscribe to our channel if you haven't already.

And today we meet Queerti, who is a little grumpy, but who is still very much loved by Anela Camara and Luz and Consuelo Vargas. Wish us good night with Nix from Boyaca, Colombia. And we say goodbye to the large family of Anna Guzman Ponce, who lives with Palooza, 1 year old, Cece, 7 years old, and Rex, 8 years old. Oh well. And Luna 11, who I had forgotten.

So if you want to repeat it at home, don't lose sight of your cat, because you're going to need it. Well, I think we always need cats. They. They always talk about. It could be. It could be because these cats. Okay, now, now, let's go now. Let's go. Let's go calmly. Let's go calmly. Yes, well, that was seen much more there. So now we are going to reach.

The conclusion that for me they are not an indication. But. Oh well, but for scientists they are. And also what I usually say, whatever you repeat the most, leave it to the end, because if not even your mother will disconnect. Awareness. Not awareness. Bad joke.

And many people still ask you what pheromones are. We have a video.

Look, if I don't do the promotion, Jose will do it behind the camera. We have a video about what pheromones are and how they are used. Good, There you go. So you can feel like a scientist for a day.
