Why do people love cats and are strict and indifferent to dogs?

There is a mysterious power that quietly acts in our lives, which makes our tolerance for certain creatures surprisingly high and extremely strict with others. This power does not come from our rational judgment, but our emotions and intuition. Yes, you guessed it right, this power is our attitude towards cats and dogs.

People generally have a high tolerance for cats, which is not limited to individuals, but also reflected in social culture. From various online emoticons to various film and television works, cats are always relaxed and happy. They are lazy, independent and mysterious, giving people the feeling of "Although I am cold, don't bother me too much." People often regard cats as a relaxed and pleasant partner, a healing existence.

For dogs, the situation is very different. Although dogs are one of the earliest domesticated animals and one of our best friends, people's attitudes towards dogs often appear harsh and even cruel. Dogs are given too many expectations and responsibilities, from guarding the house to guides and shepherds, to rescue and alertness, people's expectations for dogs seem to be endless. When dogs fail to perform these duties or act incorrectly, we may blame them or even punish them.

So, why does this difference occur? This starts with the personalities, habits of cats and dogs, and their interactions with humans.

The personality differences between cats and dogs are obvious. Cats are relatively independent and like to be alone, and their living habits are also different from those of humans. Cats often have time to rest during the day and at night, which is exactly the opposite of human routines. Therefore, they do not rely too much on humans like dogs, nor do they cause too much interference in our lives. When we meet cats in a busy life, they always get along with us in a relaxed and comfortable way, which makes us feel happy and relaxed.

and dogs are different. Dogs are sociable animals that they like to interact with people and other dogs. Dogs are highly dependent on humans and require our company and attention. When we are busy, dogs may feel uneasy and anxious. And when we punish or blame dogs for their behavior, they tend to feel confused and lost. Therefore, people often think that dogs have more problems with behavior and are more harsh in their attitude towards dogs.

The role of cats and dogs in history has also influenced people's attitudes toward them. In ancient times, the main role of cats was to catch mice and protect food and family property. Dogs are important partners in hunting and protecting their homes. Due to the demand for these features, people need cats to remain quiet and concealed most of the time, so people are more tolerant of cats. For dogs, people expect them to actively participate in and complete various tasks, so they have higher requirements and stricter attitudes on dogs.

With the development of society and the changes in people's lifestyles, people's attitudes towards cats and dogs are gradually changing. In modern society, cats gradually rise in status and become family members and friends of many people. People's tolerance for cats is also increasing. At the same time, as people's expectations of dogs become more and more, their attitude towards dogs has gradually become more gentle and understanding.

No matter how our attitudes towards cats and dogs change, we should remember one thing: they are creatures with emotions and wisdom that require our respect and understanding. We should treat them with a tolerant and understanding attitude, rather than being too harsh or punished.

Let's go back to the original question: Why are people so tolerant of cats but harsh and cruel to dogs? In fact, the answer lies in our hearts. Our tolerance for cats stems from their independence, mystery and relaxed personality; while our harshness of dogs stems from their dependence, nature of work, and expectations and responsibilities for us. However, no matter how our attitudes change, we should remember: attitudes towards animals reflect our own values ​​and lifestyles. Let us treat every life with a tolerant and understanding attitude!
