She hated it.
Absolutely.
So cat research is actually like 20 years behind dog researchers.
But I would say that the stuff still applies.
I would say it applies to the chimpanzees at the zoo.
I would say it applies to reptiles even further.
I think we anthropomorphize animals, which means we just attribute human characteristics onto animals.
And we do that.
It's a natural thing for humans to do.
um and that's fine again like if you're like playing with your dog and you're like oh my dog looks so happy um or you're playing with your cat and you're like oh my cat loves this but when we start to assume that we know what the cat or dog or animal is feeling and then try to give them proper care and we're misreading it that's where it can be an issue so i definitely think it applies to all of our animals
Is there?
I don't think anymore, but there definitely was.
I mean, even now research coming out of Oregon State, Dr. Udell, shout out to her.
She's awesome.
She's looking at like how cats bond with humans and actually they love their humans more than their favorite food or their favorite treat or their favorite toy.
Yeah.
So I just like all these new research is coming out that cats are actually love us and they we can train a cat like you can train a dog.
Yeah.
So I had him two things.
So one thing, number one, is just to be aware that I'm not the best at this.
