scientific study proves , All cats are psychopaths and contain craziness

All cats are psychopaths with a bit of madness, according to scientists, because they come from wild ancestors. They think it separates them from the people and helps them find food, territory, and other moggies to laugh with.

The researchers also developed a scale that pet owners can use to determine the extent of mania in their cats. "We believe that psychopathy, like any other personality trait, exists on a continuum, with some cats scoring higher than others," said lead researcher Rebecca Evans of the University of Liverpool's Faculty of Psychology.

"It is likely that all cats suffer from psychopathy, as it would have helped their ancestors to obtain resources, for example food." Food, territory, and the ability to mate are all critical considerations. All cats have a small amount of feral cats due to their feral cat ancestors.   

in this study

We operationalised the triarchic model of psychopathy (boldness, meanness, and disinhibition) in domestic cats using a cat triarchic (CAT-Tri) questionnaire. In study 1 (n = 549), we identified candidate items for CAT-Tri scales using thematically analysed cat owner questionnaire responses. In study 2 (n = 1463), owners completed a questionnaire battery; the preliminary CAT-Tri questionnaire, Feline Five, and Cat-Owner Relationship Subscales. In study 3 (n = 30), associations between feline daily activity and Cat-Tri scales were investigated. A five-factor cat triarchic plus (CAT-Tri+) solution emerged: boldness, disinhibition, meanness, pet-unfriendliness, and human-unfriendliness. Disinhibition and pet-unfriendliness predicted a higher quality cat-owner relationship; meanness and boldness predicted a lower quality relationship. Findings provide insight into the structure of triarchic psychopathy in cats.
