Cats are manipulated by people and dogs are driven

In all the time that our pets have lived in the home, they are very well learned to tune in to social cues that send people almost as well as children.

Dogs, with their muzzles cute loyal, easy to people's actions. A new study shows that dogs prefer a bowl of food, which prefers to man, even if it has less food. Conversely cats can purr hard to get what they want from the owner, almost as well as a hungry baby can cry incessantly, until it is fed. And no wonder pet owners treat their pets as children with their families.

Although infants can not yet understand a word, they are well followed by body language and eye parents that science is called "visual signals." Dogs do the same. When they see that you are looking in a certain direction, for example in another room, they are also looking to the side. The researchers claim that dogs make their decision based on these "visual signal". They give the dog two plates with the same amount of food. Then the experimenter looked at one of the plates and lifted her, saying: "Good, very good." When the dogs were left alone, they chose a plate with a lot of food, but they were willing to give up the extra food, if one gave it more attention, even if the food was less.

Cats are also the real manipulators of people. Researchers recorded a cat meowing and highlighted some of the features, which gave some purring especially persistent and unpleasant character for people. It is so annoying that a person is willing to do anything to stop the unpleasant sounds. New parents know what is at stake.

Features of communication babies and our pets once again reminds us how much value you can pass through the visual and non-verbal communication. When we talk about language, we think about the words, but people are just tuned to body language and tone of voice, although conscious of this and do not think.
