      He was named by my friend’s kids as “Jadgpanther,” normally called Jag or Jaggy for short. He’s an entirely black cat.

      Last week when it turned cold the rats started coming inside, and he managed to kill 4 rats in a single day. He’s been very smug since then since he knows he’s the alpha predator in the house.

      While much of psychology studies human minds, there are psychologists who work for animals. Here are some of the most famous animal ‘experiments’ (many are not actually experiments in a formal sense):

      Recently, some psychologists tried taking the ‘strange situation’ which is an experiment designed to test how very young children are attached to their parents and using it with dogs and cats:

      Dogs generally have a strong attachment to their owners, but cats don’t. Do you agree?
