Studies have shown that if presented with an impossible task, dogs will attempt the task before quickly gazing at their owner, as if to ask for help. Cats on the other hand, will continue to attempt the task. We always say cats are the independent ones! So is it a fact that we have domesticated them that much, they need us? To feed them, shelter them and to help them solve problems? Potentially. But that doesn’t explain how they have developed such human like social skills and as us dog owners know, the illusion that they do actually care for us?
