28 Apr AI And Cat Sense
A Cat Has Intellectual And Emotional Intelligence …
I’m frequently asked what is a cat and what makes a cat so unique? I answer that a cat strives overtly to please him/herself. This may make a cat appear selfish, which a cat is, but this selfishness is the key to a cat’s happiness. When a cat is pleased, a cat feels good. This good feeling can be shared with the cat’s companions — a happiness template.
A cat is a very sensitive animal — how a cat acts is how a cat feels. It’s very important to know how your cat is feeling. The feelings in reaction or response to stimuli (some natural stimuli, of which we are often unaware) are more precise than reason. A cat doesn’t intellectualize feelings as people do, so the cat’s feelings surface much faster — manifested vocally or by body language
Cat Sense
That said, a cat downloads our feelings by our body language, facial expressions and voice inflections. And because a cat is very sensitive to fluctuations in surrounding energy fields, a cat can early on sense someone at the door, is attracted to your relaxed energy, or can sense an internal, organic change in an animal or human companion before it’s externally evident.
But do cats think?
Emotional Intelligence
Although cats have definite cognitive ability, they draw primarily on their feelings or emotions. It’s this well-developed sensitivity that makes the cat such an exquisite creature.
Cats, Computers (AI) and Emotions
“Computers continue to learn to read emotions” — a tag line from We know How You Feel, an interesting article by Raffi Khatchadourian in the Jan 2015 issue of The New Yorker.
So computers are using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to read emotions, while our cats use their Cat Sense and Emotional Intelligence — their inimitable signature.
