Cats and the “sixth sense”
The supernatural world has always fascinated and attracted people of all times. We have been excited, frightened and intrigued by everything that cannot be explained scientifically. At some point, animals, too, came under the “suspicion” of supernatural abilities. Among them, it was cats that became the center of prejudice. Back in ancient Egypt cats were honored in a special way, and even could be executed for killing this animal, because even then began to notice their sensitivity to negativity. However, is it true that cats feel bad energy and how about their “sixth sense”? Further in our article we will scientifically consider the conditionality of cats’ sensitivity to negativity, consider the behavior of a cat that is confused by the “electrified” atmosphere and how to understand its signals.
What kind of energy do cats feel?
Let’s conditionally divide bad energy into several types to make it clearer:
“Sick energy ” is the negative energy of illness. If a person or owner is sick, the cat can feel it. Usually a painful condition is accompanied by changes in behavior, facial expressions, mood and smell of the owner. The animal fixes them quite easily, especially if we talk about the smell. Of course, your Ponytail will not diagnose you, but it will feel the changes easily.
“Black energy” – energy, which should be perceived not as some magical power, but as certain negative manifestations of behavior in a person. For example, during anger, a person behaves aggressively, and the body releases certain pheromones that cats can also catch; if a person is anxious or frightened, something similar happens. This whole “bouquet” is the source of the cat’s alienating behavior.
We all know very well that cats are very independent and self-reliant animals. When in contact with an annoying person, the cat will stay away, or try to demonstrate his displeasure or even aggression. It is this “imposing energy” that will repel an animal with an independent character, like our Fluffy.
Thanks to their subtle sensory abilities, cats easily catch and “changes in the atmosphere”. Consider this on the example of a thunderstorm, when there are many changes in the air, which a person does not feel. Cats, on the other hand, are real furry weather forecasters who can inform you about changes in the weather. The disaster will always warn of its approach, in particular by such signs: a decrease in atmospheric pressure, changes in humidity and air temperature, the accumulation of static electricity, the appearance of ozone odor. The animal feels all these signs, and it also affects its behavior.
Scientific explanation of cat sensitivity
There is no scientific proof of cats’ magical abilities, but science has proven that cats have perfectly developed senses. This is evidenced by many facts.
– Hearing. Cats are able to hear sounds ranging from 48Hz to 85kHz, while humans can only hear up to 20kHz. During thunderstorms, this helps them hear the sound of thunder before the human ear catches it. This sensitive hearing allows cats to better detect the location of sound and pinpoint its location with accuracy. They also have an amazing ability to skip sounds that are not interesting to them and instead pick up more important sounds, even if they sound quieter.
– Vision. The visual acuity of cats exceeds that of humans by 7 times. These nocturnal hunters are perfectly oriented in the dark. A cat’s visual abilities allow them to notice movement and react incredibly quickly to it. This in turn makes us realize that they notice details earlier than humans and react to them faster, which explains their reaction to certain negative manifestations of other people, which we may not notice.
– Olfaction. We can only envy the sense of smell of our Nurturers, because it is 14 times thinner than ours. And since most changes in the environment are accompanied by a change in odors that a person does not feel, the cat recognizes them very quickly. That’s why they react negatively to an anxious or aggressive person. This also explains the anxiety of cats during thunderstorms, because they smell ozone, which is a sign of approaching elements, and they are trying to warn you and save themselves.
– Touch. The tactile sensations of cats are a special topic. The organs of tactile sensations include whiskers, paws, tongue and even fur. Just imagine, a cat can sense changes in the environment with every centimeter of its body. Thanks to these organs, they can catch atmospheric vibrations, vibrations on the surface of the earth, the smell of pheromones and even the mood of other creatures.
– Taste. Cats have much fewer taste buds than humans, so taste is not directly related to cats’ sensitivity to negative energy.
If we talk about the “sixth sense” or, as it is sometimes called, intuition, there is no scientific evidence of its presence in cats. Their ability to sense negativity is explained by high sensitivity of other sensory systems of their organism.
Behavioral traits in a cat when it senses negativity
When your Ponytail is concerned, he will not be silent about it. Usually, the feeling of negativity or danger will be accompanied by certain signals in the cat’s behavior.
Is your cat acting anxious or even aggressive: hissing, bristling, arching his back, running away when he sees a person? This may indicate the following: the odor brought by the person on himself or his personal odor, which speaks of his negative inner-psychological state; sharp movements or loud sounds; intrusiveness of the guest. If your little furry Comrade reacted to you in this way, it is worth noting where you spent your time before meeting him. He may be bothered by your odor if he associates it with negative experiences, for example: veterinary hospital, other animals, zoo, etc. It can also be directly influenced by your mood, which you often hide when in contact with others, but it cannot be hidden from the cat’s sense of smell, because the pheromones that your body emits during stress, fear or aggression will give anyone away.
The cat leaves the house for a long time. People explain this as the inability of the animal to withstand the negative energy in the house or as a way to take all the negativity and take it away from the house. However, do not be surprised if your cat disappears in an unknown direction during the mating season, because this is their usual behavior. Running away from home can also be caused by a cat’s desire to go on a long hunt, attempts to find a safe place to physically recover from an injury, or the arrival of new people or animals in the house that the cat is not exactly happy to see.
If you notice that the cat is looking at one point, it can speak of two things – either he is interested in something, or – concerned. Due to their sensitivity, cats catch the slightest signals, sounds and vibrations that we are not destined to feel. You can pay attention to that zone and determine the source of Tail’s excitement. Very often this behavior is explained by the fact that the cat is just playing, imitating hunting, as if he is carefully tracking the prey. Fans of mysticism believe that within that zone, where the cat is gazing, negative energy has accumulated or the cat has seen a creature from the beyond.
The cat lies down on a sick person. Often the cat behaves this way to do something nice for a dear person when it notices their depressed and upset state. Also, many studies show that illnesses have their own odor that animals can smell unlike humans, and an area of inflammation on the body emits more odor than the body as a whole and has an elevated temperature. When the cat catches these signs, it often sits on the place of pain, thus trying to “treat” you. By the way, it has been scientifically proven that a cat’s purring can affect the area of pain as a soothing agent and reduce pain and inflammation.
Cats can be called real signal beacons that can warn and warn us from bad events, it is only necessary to learn to understand them.
Conclusion
We can’t refute the facts that tell us about the ability of cats to sense bad energy, and there are plenty of facts about it. And as it turns out, science does not deny them, but on the contrary confirms and explains them. Among other pets, cats are distinguished by their independent character, and this, in turn, hints at a not-so-independent intelligence, which helps them to compare certain events, analyze them and react to them. Such a deep sense of the environment helps cats with their perception of the world and sensory abilities, developed an order of magnitude better than in humans. That is why some people assume that they can really feel transcendental signals. However, isn’t it a miracle that our little Pets are so sensitive and unpredictable? It is worth simply accepting that the animal world is already extremely magical and fantastic. It constantly forces us to see that our smaller friends can “tell” us much more about ourselves than we can imagine. Therefore, we should not think that we have solved all their mysteries. It is enough to give them a little time and they will amaze us again and again with their amazing gifts and talents, which will be useful to us many times and even save our lives.
