          Любители кошек и собак со мной наверняка не согласятся, но на самом деле мы очень часто приписываем своим питомцам человеческие черты и поведение, хотя на самом деле ничего такого они не демонстрируют. Да, у них есть зачатки того, что мы называем разумом, но в целом их поведение - это наборы рефлексов и инстинктов, врождённых и приобретённых.

          Но, забывая об этом, мы начинаем одушевлять их, искать в их поведении какие-то глубокие психологические мотивы, переживания и прочие проявления эмоций. Хотя на самом деле своим воспитанием сами прививали им склонность к такому поведению, которое сами потом начинаем принимать за осмысленное.

          У этого явления есть и обратная сторона - это когда мы начинаем анализировать своё поведение, как поведение животного. Мол, мы приматы, и этим всё объясняется. Причём, как правило, объясняется в основном что-то такое, что в обществе принято осуждать или порицать. И это ведь удобно: это не я - это моё животное естество так поступает.

          Между тем, животные не понимают, что делают. А человек прекрасно осознаёт, что совершает что-то плохое, и просто ищет этому оправдание. Ведь если понимаешь, что совершаешь асоциальный поступок - значит, можешь его и контролировать, т.е. не совершать. У человека есть разум, который можно использовать во благо себе.

Soft, loose, abstract brushstrokes create a sense of depth and movement around the cat. The cat's tail is raised in a curved shape. Happy Tuxedo Cat is an acrylic painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.

But these horns reached also ahead, almost in line with his nose and mouth. I wonder if it would be a problem when they would grow longer, also in front direction, effectively blocking him for reach grass growing on ground or food in trough,
