Check out the cat telemedicine research by our colleagues in the UCD Animal Welfare Epi Lab! Great job, @MoodyCarly ! https://t.co/XzA0smmIio

It's a new year and I am excited to share the publication of my first peer-reviewed journal article! I completed this research on Early Neurological Stimulation for puppies during my Master's program at Purdue University with the @CroneyGroup. https://t.co/YnFNdDCzXu

We're recruiting cat owners in the U.S. for our study of cat owner attitudes about veterinary video telemedicine. The survey should take approx. 15 minutes. You must be at least 18 years old & the primary owner of at least one cat. Feel free to share! #cats

@MoodyCarly This is really interesting! I have alternately used a clicker or verbal praise in training my cat, both in combo with a primary reinforcer (kibble). Once she got used to the clicker, it did seem to be a helpful addition for us.

@MoodyCarly's PhD research being internationally highlighted! So important for cat carers everywhere to be able to recognize and mitigate negative responses in cats during handling

@DogUmwelt @SteffiGiraffe So it's a confirmation bias

[Grace Boone, M.Sc., UW-AAB @gcboone2]

@MoodyCarly I like these ideas!

@courtneyandcats @OntVetCollege @uofg @CCSAW_UofG This was enjoyable to participate in, and I really liked both educational videos! I have shared the twitter and study link with family and friends. :) Good luck with your research!!

NEW SURVEY! How well can you recognize and interpret kitten behaviour? 🐱

This project is part of my PhD research at @OntVetCollege on fear behaviour in kittens

@CroneyGroup That is really interesting! I have been using a clicker + kibble to train my cat, and so far she has a good "sit" and "high five", and her recall has improved a bit. However, I originally trained the "sit" before I owned a clicker, with just food.

@AynsleyRomaniuk Hey!

[Grace Boone, M.Sc., UW-AAB @gcboone2]

That's interesting!

@EstebanFerJur the above video shows a dog using the crossing lights to safely cross a busy street. It's clear he's watching the light, not following people, which is cool.
