Cats don’t seem very friendly. Unlike dogs, cats don’t often play with people. However, a new study shows that cats like people just as much as dogs.
US researchers（研究者）invited 117 cat owners to take a six-minute test. They walked into a new room with their pets. After two minutes, they left the room. After another two minutes, they came back. About two-thirds of the cats came to greet their owners right away when they came back. The cats then went back to looking around the room, but still came back to their owners now and then.
The cats saw their owners as a source of security（安全的来源）in a new place. In the same test, 58 percent of dogs acted just like the cats.
| Fun facts about cats 1. Cats spend 70 percent of their day sleeping. This means that a 9-year-old cat is awake for only three years. When awake, a cat will spend more than 30 percent of its time grooming（梳毛）itself. 2. Cats have good night vision（视力）. They need just one-sixth of the amount（数量）of light that people need to see at night. 3. To cats, the colors red, orange and brown all look the same. |
