Abstract
Humans are unique in that we use language to communicate with one
another. However, many other animals use body language to communicate,
including our cats. As cat parents, we may often wonder what our cats are trying to
tell us. If you are well-versed in cat body language, then you just might be able to
decipher their message. Cats use a lot of different cues to communicate with us, so
learning how to tune in to what your cat is trying to tell you can improve their life and
yours. Moreover, knowing how to read when your cat is content, anxious, scared, or
defensive can help you manage their environment in an optimal way.
Background/Rationale
The significance of this study is to help cat parents and other people
understand cats as they communicate through body language and different cues to
communicate to humans
Abstract
If you are a cat parent, you may have noticed your cat reacting to some forms
of touch as if they are ticklish. In humans, gentle touches on the bottoms of our feet
can send a shiver up our spine. When we gently tickle our cat’s paws, we may notice
them twitch as if they are feeling something similar.
Background/Rationale
This article will explore whether cats are ticklish and provide some
recommendations to pet parents on how to touch your cat and how to read if they
are enjoying it or not.
Abstract
It is well known that dogs are highly intelligent, intuitive, and trainable animals.
They are incorporated into the lives of humans in many different and complex ways.
Sometimes in comparison to dogs, cats get a bad reputation for being aloof, cold,
and stubborn, but the truth is that cats are also highly intelligent, intuitive, and
trainable. Cats and dogs come from two different lineages of animals that needed
different skills to survive, and the process of domestication for each was very
different. As a result, dogs and cats have different learning styles and respond
differently to people. This leads to the bad reputation cats have for not being very
intelligent.
Background/Rationale
This article will discuss what is known about cat intelligence and how you can
incorporate their intelligence into your everyday interactions with your feline friend.
