Statistics show that cat 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 go through a lot of hardships to live with cats...

Of course, this is still risky

What makes us continue to embark on the road of no return of sucking cats?

In fact, this is a trap that the cat has planned for a long time and accurately targets human instincts.

What does a cat suck?

Zoologist Loren proposed the concept of a baby schema (Kindchenschema), which refers to some facial feature combinations that can make humans feel that the creatures in front of them are very "cute" and want to take the initiative to care and take care of them.

However, most animals will continue to lose their juvenile characteristics as they grow up. Only cats maintain this juvenile state steadily from childhood to adulthood.

For example~

Big eyes

The most prominent feature on 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 look at other people's faces, we allocate the most attention to the eyes. Therefore, cats’ big eyes can directly touch our hearts~

How important are big eyes?

The following is an introduction to a cheating contestant who was manually removed by snail fans

As a contestant with congenitally small eyes, Panda was very thoughtful in painting a huge smoky makeup .

Without his visually large eyes, Mr. Gungun, who usually looks so cute, only looks inexplicably happy.

Small smiling mouth

From the front, a cat’s mouth has almost no sense of existence. When viewed from the side, a cat's mouth pattern approximates our "smile."

The small mouth is one of the typical baby patterns.

Round head

A cat’s collarbone is not connected to the sternum. The shoulder ratio is much smaller than that of humans, making the head appear larger.

And due to the height difference between humans and cats. From a human perspective, a cat has a two-headed body, which is completely consistent with "short limbs".

Big heads and short limbs are also typical characteristics of babies.
