So delighted to have been involved in this important study! 🐕🖲️
Delighted to share @CCLABUCSD first empirical study on button trained dogs. We show that dogs can recognize and respond appropriately to the words produced via buttons and they respond similarly independently of who is producing the word. 1/n

When I’m not studying cat or bird cognition I am giggling at their silliness vm.tiktok.com/ZGefHoxhk/
@tom_hawking sums up asking cognitive questions of cats perfectly in one line: "Cats being cats, there’s no guarantee they’d answer anyway." Delighted to have been interviewed for this fun piece!

Animal behavior tech question!
Is there an AI site that could categorize monkey sound clips? The clips are pretty clear and isolated, and with my ear I can parse maybe three types. But some are so similar I can’t tell them apart! Open to any recs/advice😊🐒
I once waited 11 months..the editor said something similar, that they were waiting on another reviewer. After so much time waiting, we threatened to remove it and go to another journal, and they eventually let us continue with the reviewers we had.
It was our pleasure! Come back again🐒🦍
Two more Living Links photos that I will cherish- thanks to @Explanimals for her photographic skills and @Research_Kate for the fabulous tour of Budongo Research Unit @rzss @rzsslivinglinks founded by #AndrewWhiten @univofstandrews 🦍🦧🐵
Questionably designed experiment I'm running: will our cats sit in a taped rectangle (we feel bad ♻️ boxes, egg cartons, etc)? Ans: maybe. There was at least one confounding factor!

ALT A two-panel photograph showing my cat (Pam, a calico) sitting in a rectangle made of painter's tape — the second panel shows the cat is in a sun spot. Note: this experiment was poorly designed by this citizen scientist — me
@RobertoARamon1 your company CLS Express Logistics LIED about delivering my suitcase. To make matters worst, no one answers my calls, emails, or faxes. I feel stunned and violated. I feel like my suitcase was stolen, and I request immediate communication.
@lufthansa WHY is it impossible to contact you regarding my lost luggage? CLS express logistics claim they delivered my suitcase but, in fact, I do not have it!!!!
Is the only way to get my luggage through paying you at an auction??? CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY.
SOS anyone at @asab_tweets @asab_conference #Bielefeld have extra kitty litter/litter box supplies? I arrived with my cat and @lufthansa lost my luggage with my cat’s things. Please retweet!!
