Statistics show that cats’ pictures and videos are the most viewed content on the Internet. On social networking sites, each cat video has an average of 2,000 more views than other videos.
Some people have gone through a lot of hardships in order to live with cats...
Of course, this is still risky. What makes us go on the road of no return to sucking cats?
In fact, this is a trap that cats have been planning for a long time and are accurately set by human instinct.
What does the cat suck?
Zoologist Loren proposed a concept of a baby schema, which means that some combination of facial features can make humans feel that the creature in front of them is very "cute" and wants to take the initiative to care and take care of it.
But most animals will constantly lose their juvenile characteristics as they grow up. Only cats have maintained this juvenile condition almost steadily from childhood to adulthood.
For example, ~
Big eyes
The most prominent feature of a baby's face is a pair of clear and bright big eyes.
The lethality of big eyes is huge for humans. As early as infancy, when we observe other people’s faces, we will distribute the most attention to our eyes. So the cat's big eyes can hit our hearts directly~
How important are big eyes?
The following is a cheating contestant who was manually removed by snail noodles. As a contestant with congenital small eyes, Panda classmate schemingly drew a huge smoky makeup.
Without big visual eyes, Gunguenjun, who usually looks cute and powerful, looks only inexplicable.
The small and smiling mouth
From the front, the cat's mouth has almost no presence. When viewed from the side, the cat's mouth pattern is close to our "smile".
The small mouth is one of the typical baby schemas.
The round head
The cat's clavicle is not connected to the sternum, and its head and shoulders are much smaller than that of humans, making it look larger.
And due to the height difference between humans and cats. From a human perspective, a cat has a bi-headed body, which is completely in line with the "short limbs".
Large head and short limbs are also typical characteristics of babies.
