If you have ever spent time with a dog and a cat, you are already aware of a major distinction: cats typically don’t listen to their owners, whereas dogs do.
The true reason is concealed in their mind and character, not because dogs are smart or cats are cruel.
Let’s understand it in a fun simple manner 👇
🐶 Dogs Are Pack Animals
Wolves, who live in packs, are the ancestors of dogs.
There is always a leader in a pack, and everyone else follows.
Dogs still see their owners as their leaders.
They pay attention to orders like sit, remain, come, and roll because of this.
When dogs obey and receive: They feel content and gratified.
. Congrats
. Joys
. Love and care
For them, following the rules comes naturally.
🐱 Cats Are Self-Sufficient Hunters
Cats are descended from lone, solitary wild cats.
They never required a leader because they hunt and survive on their own.
For this reason, cats:
. prefer to do the things alone
. Observe their own rules
. Only focus when they want to.
They are not disobedient; they are autonomous.
🧠 Different Behaviors = Different Brains
When dogs obey and receive praise, their brains release joyful hormones.
However, cats’ brains don’t function in the same manner, so simply obeying commands doesn’t make them feel good.
Because of this, training a dog is simple, but training a cat takes time.
Concluding Remarks
So don’t be upset the next time your cat ignores you and leaves. 😄
They are simply being who they are.
Your dog genuinely loves to follow and feel connected, which is why they run to you when they hear your name.
Both animals are wonderful, yet they express affection in different ways. [❤️
