Why are cats not as human as dogs? The main reason is that cats and dogs have great differences in their personalities. Cats are more independent and are not easy to rely on others, while dogs rely more on their owners and are more friendly to people. Therefore, in this regard, dogs are much more human than cats.

Most dogs have IQs that can reach the level of 5 or 6 years old, and generally at least 4 years old. It can be said that the dog basically understands the owner's meaning. However, very few cats can reach the level of 2-year-old children, and generally only reach the level of 1-year-old children.

So from the perspective of communication and understanding with people, cats and dogs are not on the same level. But this does not prevent cats from being good home companions, and the companionship and healing they bring to our hearts are the same.

Cats and dogs are not at the same level, so no matter how much the cat trains, it is not as good as dogs. This is an ironclad fact. Everyone has raised dogs and cats, so it is not difficult to compare. It is estimated that the cat can't tell whether the owner is an arm, head, hand, or a complete person.

Dogs do not understand human words. Dogs do based on the tone and eyes of human speech, mainly the eyes. Dogs can understand human eyes, which is one reason. Another reason is that for dogs, you are their owners and rely on you. Cats can understand human emotions, but cats are very independent and do not take humans seriously at all.

Whether cats and dogs can understand human words is mainly determined by their genes. Cats are solitary animals and like to be alone, which is destined to be difficult for this guy to understand, and they don’t like to pay attention even if they understand. Dogs are solitary animals. Not only does they have a strong hierarchy, and hunting life requires communication, but the owner is the leader to them.
