Besides, since all restraints are chain restraints anymore, you really have to go out of you way to find a place that still has them on the menu. Used to be everywhere, but slowly, surely, the emblandoning of culture takes its toll. Now you almost have to prepare them yourself (you can still find them in butcher shops and local grocery stores: just not the chain ones), but that's pretty easy to avoid, too.

And did he have a habit of not responding to his name, even though he clearly heard it? On a more serious note, I'm sure the research had some deeper value than the stunningly obvious conclusion that cats know their names but ignore us. It's just that when all is said and done, the takeaway for the majority of people is something we already knew. Those of us with any basic observational or deductive skills.

And did he have a habit of not responding to his name, even though he clearly heard it? No, but he did make a practice of double checking facts that "everyone knows." That a heavier object would fall faster was something just as obvious as that cats know but ignore their own names. Just because it's obvious doesn't mean it's true. In this case it turned out to be true, but that doesn't mean it wasn't worth testing. And for what it's worth, if I remember the article correctly, while many cats know their own names and choose to ignore them, some of them seem genuinely to not know their own names. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary thinks those cats are just extra good at ignoring but isn't sure how to test that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
