猫咪一直以来都是奇怪的物种，但是铲屎官们却都很喜欢它。猫咪有很多匪夷所思的行为会让铲屎官不解。今天就来和大家说说猫咪为什么喜欢跟着它的铲屎官，连进厕所都不放过！

If you live with a cat, you will probably notice they have a habit of following you everywhere.

如果你有和猫一起生活，你可能会注意到它们喜欢跟着你到处转。

This behavior may seem strange, especially since cats have a reputation for being so independent and heavily ignoring their human family.

因为猫是出了名的不黏人且不喜欢理人，所以这种行为会看起来有点奇怪。

In this AnimalWised video, you will see why this isn't the case with these six reasons why your cat follows you everywhere.

看完《聪明动物》的这期视频，你会明白为什么你的猫喜欢到处跟着你的六个原因。

You are their security.

你是它们的安全感。

When they are newborn, kittens will follow their mother everywhere so, they can both learn how to navigate their world and also feel safe.

当幼猫刚出生的时候，它们会与猫妈妈寸步不离，从而在认知世界的同时保持安全感。

By adopting a cat, whether a kitten or adult cat, you become a kind of surrogate parent, you feed them, clean their litter tray, take care of them, motivate them to play and offer them plenty of affection.

无论是收养一只小猫或是成年猫猫，你都会成为其某种程度上的代理父母，喂养它们，清理它们的猫砂盆，照顾它们，鼓励它们去玩耍，给它们许多许多的爱。

Your cat knows you will protect them at all costs and ensure their needs are covered, rewarding you with unconditional love and company.

你的猫猫知道你会不惜一切代价地保护它们并满足其需求，所以它们会用同样无条件的爱和陪伴来回报你。

They want to be entertained.

它们想和你玩儿。

It's common for cats to be easily bored, especially if they spend all their time indoors.

猫会很容易感到无聊，特别是当它们总呆在室内的时候。

They cannot carry out the typical exploratory and hunting behaviors innate to felines.

它们没法完成猫科动物固有的探索和狩猎。

For this reason, the cat may follow you around looking to be stimulated.

出于这个原因，猫可能会以四处跟着你来寻找刺激。

Also, you spend many hours a day away from the home, the cat is likely to follow you around to get the engagement they have missed while you've been away.

此外，你每天有大部分的时间都不在家，猫猫很可能会用四处跟着你的方式来弥补它们在你离家时错过的相处时光。

They are patrolling their territory.

巡视领地。

In nature, part of a cat's daily activities is to walk around their territory several times.

在自然界中，逡巡领土是猫日常活动的一部分。

They do this both to spread their scent and to drive away possible intruders.

它们这样做既是为了散播自身的气味，也是为了赶走潜在的入侵者。

Being inside, the cat cannot do the same as they would in the wild, but you're coming and going might make them feel like you're patrolling the same territory and they want to accompany on your mission.

在家里，猫无法做到在野外那样，但你走来走去的会让它们觉得你在巡视同一片领土，而它们想和你一起执行任务。

They may need your help.

它们可能需要帮助。

Some cats prepare to hide when they feel discomfort or pain, taking a silent attitude or even becoming hostile when we get too close.

有些猫在感到不适或疼痛时喜欢躲起来，在我们过于接近时，采取沉默的态度，甚至抱有敌意。

However, others do the opposite: go into the humans with constant meowing if anything disturbs them since they can rely on their human companions for help.

然而，其他猫的做法却相反，如果有东西打扰了它们，它们会接近人类并不停地喵喵叫。

If your cat follows you and meows constantly, it is possible they are either in poor health or are lacking something, whether it is food, a clean litter box or whatever.

如果你的猫不断地跟着你且喵喵个不停，它们可能要么健康状况不佳，要么是想要某种东西，比如食物、干净的猫砂盆或是什么其他的。

游戏时间在猫的发育过程中是十分重要的，特别是狩猎和捕捉猎物。

A cat in the wild will be able to hunt several times a day, whether to feed or even for fun to exercise their instinct.

一只野生猫一天可以捕猎好几次，无论是猎食还是为了好玩来锻炼本能。

For this reason it's common for cats to play hunting games with you, especially if they don't have other stimuli around.

出于这个原因，猫猫会经常和你一起玩狩猎游戏，特别是当它们周围百无聊赖。

This could be as simple as chasing birds at the window.

这就和它们在窗边追鸟是一个道理。

This is why the cat may tried to stop you and swiping you as you walk past, all it's a way to engage their instincts and have some fun.

这也是猫咪在你路过时可能会试图阻止你并挥爪打你的原因，全是为了激发它们的本能并获得乐趣。

If your cat follows you everywhere, you might expect them to sit where you sit or lie where you lie, just so they can spend time with their favorite person in the world.
