What is my cat's attachment style? The strange situation test. she CRIES😭

#attachmentstyle #thestrangesituation #rescuecat #science

😺Did you know that cats have similar attachment styles to humans?
There are 4 attachment styles: Secure, ambivalent, avoidant or disorganized.

The difference is that unlike us, a cat's attachment style stays fairly the same throughout its life. Therefore, early weeks with mom is even more so pivotal to a cat's behavior. On the other hand, humans have the ability to change the attachment styles we were brought up to have.

Since maumao has decided to move into a new place, I took the opportunity to find out her attachment style by putting her in a room she has never been in before. Her cries do sadden me but its a happy surprise to know cats do
love their owners the way a child would love its mother at a young age.
