Compared to dogs, why are cats more prone to traffic accidents?

Because in the world of cats, its curiosity is particularly strong, and the cat's small size is not easy to be spotted by the driver, and its walking speed is fast, which will cause the driver to have no time to brake.

Because cats are always very startled, they will always run around, and they will come out of all corners, and it is easy to get into traffic accidents.

Because cats are relatively small, cars can't see cats, and cats are generally in the blind spot of cars, so they are most prone to traffic accidents.

According to common sense, cats run fast and react more quickly, and the obstacle avoidance function should be stronger than dogs, but the data is the opposite, what is this?

I'm here to answer your questions today.

1. The reason for the cat's personality.

What is the personality of a cat? It's just to give people the feeling of being chattering, and you can't always figure out what's going on in its head, so you can't predict what it will do next.

When cats see a vehicle on the road, they don't stop for a while like dogs and wait for the vehicle to pass before leaving. It might just be a straight pass.

Even if you see a cat in the middle of the road, you stop in time, and you let it go first, it may not be able to do what you want, and there may be a situation where you walk and it goes, and the dog is different, it sees the person parked and goes to obey the person's will.

2. Cats' habitual problems.

I don't know if you have noticed that when cats are in danger, they usually run back!

If they look in the right direction and run in that direction, they suddenly sense danger, and they will run in the direction they are coming from.

For example, they are about 2 meters away from their destination, but they can be reached in one arrow step.

But if it encounters a car halfway, it will not run towards its destination, but will choose to turn back, and it will easily be crushed by passing vehicles.

3. Cats are small.

The size of cats is much smaller than that of dogs, so when cats and dogs are on the road at the same time, it is obvious that dogs are easier to spot, and the car can also brake in time.

And the dog is also stronger, although the rumor says that "cats have nine lives", but the fact is that when cats and dogs are hit at the same time, the survival rate of dogs will be higher.

4. Dogs are more adaptable to human society.

Compared with cats, dogs are closer to humans and will understand human society better, and many stray dogs will pass traffic lights and be slower even when no one is teaching them.

As for cats, they don't have the concept of "crossing the road", once they are frightened on the road, they are likely to have a stress response and run around, so this is also the reason why cats are more likely to be hit.

5. The number of stray cats is relatively large.

Whether it is in the community or on the road, you will find that the most common stray animal is the cat. Because stray dogs are easy to kill and be taken away by dog thieves, in terms of probability, the probability of stray cats having an accident will be greater.

Generally, stray dogs have a better trajectory, while cats run around, which also increases the probability of being hit.

In fact, veterinarian Xiao Ming felt very heartbroken every time he saw the corpses of struck cats and dogs on the road. If they could have a home, they wouldn't be dead.

Therefore, if you have a cat shovel officer at home, you must take care of them, if they accidentally run away, the possibility of encountering danger outside is relatively large.

In addition, if we are driving, there are really cats and dogs suddenly appearing, in the case of unavoidable, we still have to ensure our own safety first, so as to avoid traffic accidents.

Most of the cat's living habits are active at night, when the cat crosses the road, it is illuminated by a sudden strong light, the pupils will temporarily lose sight of objects, and the speed of the car is also fast, so the cat will have a situation.
