What Pets Actually Want & Need | Dr. Karolina Westlund

My guess would be perhaps some sort of displacement behavior that there's motivation to move on in the sequence of behaviors to the next behavior, but it's not quite time yet. And so that sort of activation then gets an outlet through that behavior. But I really don't know. I don't know. I haven't seen this discussed.

I think what all animals are thinking about, where their next meal is going to come from, social interactions, and whether there's any threat anywhere.

I would say that... If the animal doesn't feel safe, then it's very hard to engage the animal in any type of sort of view. If an animal is fearful, you try to feed them. They often won't take food, for instance. So the sense of safety has a very high priority because if you don't feel safe, you could die, essentially.

So if you're in a situation where you don't feel safe, it's because that situation is potentially dangerous. There could be predators around, and then you must focus your attention on those predators because otherwise you're going to die. And that, of course, depends on the species. Some species are sort of aggregate in big flocks, if we're talking birds, and some are pair bonding species.

But the social environment is really important, both with regards to, you know, parenting behavior. So sexual behavior, parenting behavior, raising young and so on. All of that also has high priority because it's essentially about furthering your genes into the next generation. And then foraging behaviors. Where am I going to get my next meal? We feed them on a plate.
