I remember watching "Zootopia", I thought that the rabbit officer Judy in it was so cute!
But once I went to visit the flower and bird market and saw the rabbit in the cage, although it still felt cute, it was less of the impulse to be cute in my heart, there was no urge to take care, and the question of whether the rabbit head tasted good or not would pop up in my mind.
Cats are different, whether it is the image of standing up and cute in the animation, or the cat in reality, it will make you want to be close, want to be appeased, want to take care.
I was plagued by this question until I found the answer in a history of the development of national treasures, that is, the continuation of the infantile state.
Some animals grow up to maintain the physical characteristics of infancy and early childhood, that is, juvenile continuation.
Whether cats or pandas, their cute images can remind us of young children, and their emotions for children are easy to be induced by them.
And the key point is that their eyes are in front, not towards the rabbit, like a cow, like a sheep, on either side of the head.
Of course, today's dogs, after so many generations of evolution, have also evolved many characteristics of juvenile continuation.
We subconsciously treat cats as infants and toddlers, and there is an emotional recognition and closeness from genetic instincts, which is why girls prefer cats.
At that time, after understanding this characteristic of cats, I specially looked at the prototype of the ancestor of our current cats, that is, the African wild cat, and found that it was still very wild and domineering, and it was completely different from the current soft and cute cat.
It is said that when our ancestors entered the agricultural era, of course, they had to store it after they had surplus food, and the rat problem was really a hidden danger. At this time, the African wild cat appeared, because of its small size, it is not a threat to humans, even human infants, and mice are the most important part of their diet.
So a natural tacit understanding arises, yes, tacit understanding rather than cooperation.
Wangxing and we humans are cooperating, and cats and we humans are a tacit understanding, because cats can still live freely without us, but it is more convenient to be around you.
The ancestors of the Wangxing people were a group of wolves eliminated, and they would not be able to live without humans.
This is also one of the reasons why cats never please humans, of course, there is also a reason that the Wangxing people, horses, and sheep are originally social animals, with a natural talent for flattering the leader, with the instinct of obedience, and after being domesticated, they naturally regard us humans as leaders.
And cats are cats alone, for other kinds, naturally want to fight, want to fight for territory.
So for the Wang Xing, the two are just good partners. But for cats, two is a violation of territory, which is an uncomfortable offense.
The Wangxing people have been with us for almost tens of thousands of years, and after the human ancestors migrated and settled in different parts of the world, because the Wangxing people and we are cooperative, it is cooperation to divide labor.
Different Wang Xingren have different division of labor, and the difference in appearance becomes more and more large.
But although cats also follow humans everywhere, this is more like a kind of companionship, so there is no external environment choice pressure, so the external basically has not changed.
Until five or six hundred years ago, that is, the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Europe began the Renaissance, and then the industrial revolution, when the demand for cats began to change, the number of cats raised by humans increased dramatically, and different people's preferences began to appear, which also led to the beginning of large-scale domestication, at which time cats also began to evolve to different appearances.
Cats are almost six hundred years old, Wang Xingren is almost tens of thousands of years, natural cat categories are less different, and Wang Xingren gap is even greater.
Cats have more advantages than Wang Xingren in juvenile continuation, because cats have made special adjustments in sound at a certain stage of evolution, in order to make themselves evolve a cry that is more like a baby's voice.
Compared with the role of Wang Xingxing and human division of labor, cats give more comfort to human spirits, stimulate our desire to protect, and stimulate our love.
Therefore, when the era of material abundance began, the number of cats also began to explode sharply, according to statistics, the number of domestic cats is now 600 million, and dogs are only 300 million.
If you don't count chickens (chickens are almost tens of billions, the world's population counts, each person can get 3-5 chickens), cats should be the most successful domestic animals in terms of number and quality of life.
However, for human health, cats are far less safe than dogs, dogs can supplement the complexity of children's intestinal flora and improve children's immunity, but cats can only increase the risk of children infected with toxoplasmosis.
Regarding Toxoplasma gondii, we know that mice infected by Toxoplasma gondii will become less afraid of cats and will actively approach cats, essentially Toxoplasma gondii wants to return to the cat's intestines to continue breeding.
So for Toxoplasma gondii, in any other animal, including people, it is a journey, they go to change the instincts of animals, and even people's personalities, in order to return to the cat's intestines, their home.
So now scientists are studying how Toxoplasma affects the brain's mood, and perhaps in the future, people's bravery, people's kindness, and people's depression can really be controlled by drugs.
Toxoplasma is very long and very hidden, and some people even say that two out of 3 people in the world may be affected by Toxoplasmosis, they will change your attitude towards cats, can make you more tolerant of cats, want to be close, and want to pet more.
This is so scary to think about, it turns out that there is really something like hypnosis in the movie, like parasitism, like possession, change a person, but it's fun to think about it from another angle, and now scientists are studying drugs that are effective for our brains through Toxoplasma gondii.
Maybe one day, through the genes of Toxoplasma gondii, scientists have really developed a true love potion, a miracle medicine in the magical world?
