PoC avatarPosted on January 27, 2020 by Michael BroadJanuary 27, 2020

I’ll cut to the chase as I have mentioned this study before but Michelle Starr of MSN has nicely picked out some key elements of a study into emotional bonding between cats/dogs and humans. These are interspecies friendships. The study … Continue reading →

You have to be careful that you don’t project human thoughts onto animal companions when answering questions about higher emotions and domestic cats. The modern domestic cat is still essentially a solitary character but over thousands of years of domestication … Continue reading →

How long can I leave my cat home alone?

Do domestic cats overeat to alleviate stress?

PoC avatarPosted on October 30, 2019 by Michael BroadOctober 30, 2019

This is a discussion post. I don’t know the answer and neither do the scientists as far as I aware. We know that people eat for pleasure; as a means to alleviate stress or as a coping mechanism. You might … Continue reading →

Is this cat retaliating by pushing cohabiting cat into swimming pool?

Do cats become self-conscious when shaved?

PoC avatarPosted on August 13, 2019 by Michael BroadAugust 13, 2019

The answer is no because cats aren’t self-conscious (self-aware), period. I could leave it there because anything else is strictly unnecessary. However, the question is really on the topic of whether cats feel embarrassed by a lion cut. And once … Continue reading →
