A recent scientific study by British universities, Liverpool and John Moores, has revealed abnormal behavioral patterns in domestic cats. Scientists claim their psychology is nearly deranged, and these traits are inherited from their wild ancestors. The research, published in the journal 'Research in Personality', involved over two thousand cat owners. The researchers developed a new scale called 'CAT-Tri+', consisting of forty-six questions to assess abnormal behaviors in domestic cats. The study aims to improve the understanding of cat behavior, which could enhance the bond between cats and their owners and reduce the number of abandoned animals in shelters. Dr. Rebecca Evans, who led the research team, explained that such behavior was necessary for the survival of wild cat ancestors, helping them to obtain food, resources, and breeding opportunities. Researchers observed several manifestations of this behavior, including torturing prey before killing it, making loud sounds without a clear reason, and sudden movements with rapid reactions to stimuli.
