事实证明，猫和主人之间的关系就像孩子和父母之间的关系一样

Stop the presses, dogs might not be people’s only best friends anymore! Felines are also angling to take up the mantle of our special buddies after scientists have made some startling conclusions in recent research.

别说了，狗可能不再是人类最好的朋友了!在最近的研究中，科学家们得出了一些令人吃惊的结论，猫科动物也正试图继承我们特殊伙伴的衣钵。

Scientists at Oregon State University conducted a study and proved that our favorite felines can form secure bonds with their owners — just like doggos do. What this means is that cats, no matter how arrogant or aloof they might act, really do care about us and think of us as their caregivers.

俄勒冈州立大学的科学家们进行了一项研究，证明我们最喜欢的猫科动物可以和它们的主人形成牢固的联系——就像狗狗一样。这意味着，不管猫表现得多么傲慢或冷漠，它们确实关心我们，把我们当作它们的看护者。

Attachment behavior studies involve reuniting kids with their parents or caregivers after a short period of absence. Previously, researchers found that human babies, baby monkeys, and cute lil puppers can be securely or insecurely attached to their parents. Naturally, scientists decided to test the theory with kittens as well.

依恋行为研究涉及孩子在短暂的离开后与父母或看护人团聚。此前，研究人员发现，人类婴儿、小猴子和可爱的小哈巴狗可以安全地或不安全地依附于它们的父母。自然，科学家们也决定用小猫来验证这个理论。
