Are pets good for kids’ mental health? Type of animal and duration of bond could make all the difference Out study found that dogs and cats are not the same in this regard.

"Cats are more independent, which limits emotional bonding"-- just one place where I think this analysis goes very wrong. Cats do not show love in dogs' ways. But to say there is limited emotional bonding tells me... these folks DO NOT KNOW CATS! #cats #animals #anthrozoology #humananimalstudies

Do Cows Use Tools? This One Does.

“Humans have been living in proximity to cows for thousands of years. “Perhaps the absurd thing was not the absurdity of a cow using tools, but the absurdity of us never thinking that a cow might be intelligent.” #sentience #ethics #animalcognition #anthrozoology #ethology #OneHealth #animalrights

Back-scratching bovine leads scientists to reassess intelligence of cows Brown Swiss in Austria has been discovered using tools in different ways – something only ever seen in humans and chimpanzees

Dogs Build Their Vocabularies Like Toddlers

Research shows some dogs "can learn the names of new toys not only through direct instruction but also by eavesdropping on the conversations of their owners." Study by Shany Dror et al., scicomm by @emilyanthes.bsky.social #dogs #animalcognition #animalcommunication #language #anthrozoology
