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.

別說了，狗可能不再是人類最好的朋友了!在最近的研究中，科學家們得出了一些令人吃驚的結(jié)論，貓科動物也正試圖繼承我們特殊伙伴的衣缽。

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.

俄勒岡州立大學的科學家們進行了一項研究，證明我們最喜歡的貓科動物可以和它們的主人形成牢固的聯(lián)系——就像狗狗一樣。這意味著，不管貓表現(xiàn)得多么傲慢或冷漠，它們確實關心我們，把我們當作它們的看護者。

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.

依戀行為研究涉及孩子在短暫的離開后與父母或看護人團聚。此前，研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，人類嬰兒、小猴子和可愛的小哈巴狗可以安全地或不安全地依附于它們的父母。自然，科學家們也決定用小貓來驗證這個理論。
