Cats refuse to cooperate with scientists Bashny.Net

No cat has not shown interest in scientific eksperimentam



Geniuses Do cats? We firmly believe in the mind of the dolphin, but science is not too knowledgeable about the intellectual abilities of cats because cats are collaborating with scientists as well as with all other people-that is, nothing.

Author of the book "Citizen Canine: Our evolutionary relationships with dogs and cats," David Grimm wrote that he wanted to name the smartest cats pets, but faced with a lack of useful information. He dug deeper and found that it is in no small part due to the fact that the cat is very difficult to learn anything.



Many scientists seem Grimm just laughed in his face when he asked about the intelligence of cats. Expert on cognitive abilities of animals Adam Miklos told him that cats held a single study, and all. A comparative psychologist at the University of Padua, Christian Agrillo said that it is easier to work with fish than with a cat.

Agrillo team conducted a series of tests to find out about "computing capabilities" cats: they decided to check whether the cat to distinguish one point from three. The test failed.

The owners brought their cats, and in this study ended: even docile animals have shown the test is very little interest. As a result, Agrillo were restricted to only four cats, but those were difficult - they just did not participate in the experiment.

Perhaps scientists simply do not yet come up with an effective way to explore the feline brain. The dogs live with people for a long time, so it is easier to communicate with them. A cat to understand and, therefore, much more difficult to verify. But for that we love them, do not you?
