It's a common belief that over time pet owners start to look like their animals. Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and mimic their behavior。
人們廣泛以為，時光久了寵物主人會變得愈來愈像本身的寵物。而如今卻有“恐怖”的新聞表現，喵星人竟能以主工資模範，模擬主人的一舉一動!
Next time you reach for that Krispy Kreme, think twice. If your cat is watching, she may be prone to overeating as well。
下次你再伸手去拿卡卡圈坊甜甜圈時，照樣先三思一下吧。如果恰巧被你家的貓咪瞥見了，下次她大概也會貪吃暴食哦!
What is your cat's IQ?
你家喵星人的智商是若幹?
In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that cats who live intimately with their owners (indoor cats that live in a small space) "mirror" the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behavior of their owners。
墨西拿大學一項新研討註解，與主人密切生存的喵星人(這裏指運動空間狹窄、愛在室內運動的喵星人)，會“模擬”它們的主人的生存習氣。他們同寢共食，乃至主人們愛不愛交際生存，也會影響它們的行動。
"Cats are intelligent animals with a long memory," Jane Brunt, veterinarian and the executive director of the CATalyst Council, told Discovery News. "They watch and learn from us, (noting) the patterns of our actions, as evidenced by knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that's been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas are."
“貓是很聰慧的動物，影象力很強。” 簡-布朗特對摸索消息網站的記者表現。布朗特蜜斯是名獸醫，也是 CATalyst Council公司的履行董事。她說：“貓會視察人類並向人類進修。經由過程視察人們的行動模式，它們會曉得食品放在那邊、何時可以用飯、怎樣打開不經意封閉的碗櫃門，和該在甚麽處所用飯或便便。”
Because cats mimic our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why "human and cat obesity rates often seem to match." So, if you felt guilty about leaving your precious kitty at home while you go to work, now you can feel even worse: You are making your cat fat!
由於喵星人會模擬人類習氣，以是假如你常常翻滾冰箱，喵星人也大概會子夜跑到食盆前吃上兩口。研討註解，這正好闡釋了“人類與貓的肥胖率常常類似”的緣故原由。那末，假如你因本身上班只能把瑰寶貓咪留在家裏而覺得忸怩，如今大概加倍不安了：是你一手造成為了你家喵星人發胖!
There's no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to Yoga will benefit your cat, but based on the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping schedule is best for both of you。
固然並沒有證據註解主人喝綠茶或練瑜伽也能幫到喵星人，但依據研討，康健飲食和紀律就寢仿佛對你和喵星人都頗有益。
There's a lot we can learn from our feline friends in return. "When they sit on our lap softly purring with rhythmic breathing and half-closed eyes, the sense of serenity and calm that comes over us is like a private lesson in inner peace and meditation," Brant said. Sure. But cats don't have to sit in rush hour traffic for an hour a day or worry about their in-laws. They're probably pretty good at remaining calm。
相反咱們也能從喵星人身上學到許多。“每次喵星人蹲在咱們膝頭半瞇著眼睛打呼嚕時，鎮靜和安定感便油但是生，真像是密切地教咱們若何做到心坎平和與冥思。” 布朗特說。確切如斯。但喵星人又不消天天花一小時擠公交，更不會為那些親家們懊惱，大概它們生成就這麽淡定吧。
So, according to science, even though we assumed that cats were aloof jerks all these years, it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?
以是，即使咱們這些年來一向認為喵星人只是冷淡的怪咖，但依據科學闡釋，究竟卻證實它們居然一向在進修並模擬咱們。是否是有點小嚇人?
