(2020) "The role of cat eye narrowing movements in cat–human communication." Scientific Reports. → A study from the University of Sussex. It scientifically proves that when humans blink slowly (eye narrowing), cats exhibit a positive response towards them, and that there is a "reciprocity" where cats blink back. *Cats' Ability to Distinguish Names* Atsuko Saito, et al. (2019) "Domestic cats (Felis catus) discriminate their names from other words." Scientific Reports. → A study by Associate Professor Atsuko Saito and colleagues at Sophia University. Experiments using habituation and dishabituation methods revealed that cats auditorily distinguish and recognize their own names from other nouns, or the names of other cats they live with. *Atsuko Saito, et al. (2019) "Domestic cats (Felis catus) discriminate their names from other words." Scientific Reports.* * *Cat Kneading (Kneading) and Kitten-like Regression* Beaver, B. V. (2003) "Feline Behavior: A Guide for Veterinarians." Saunders. → A standard text in feline behavior. The act of alternately pressing with the front paws (kneading) is a remnant of the instinctive behavior of stimulating the mother cat's mammary glands during lactation. When adult cats perform this in a relaxed state, it is considered a type of "neoteny," indicating a strong sense of security and attachment to the object. *Relationship between Feline Stress and Problem Behaviors* Amat, M., et al. (2009) "Potential risk factors associated with feline behavior problems." Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery. → Many problems in cats, such as inappropriate urination and aggressive behavior, are suggested to be triggered by environmental stress, anxiety, and lack of communication with the owner. Conversely, the incidence of these problem behaviors is known to be lower in stable environments. *Relationship between Feline Stress and Problem Behaviors* Amat, M., et al.

(2000) "The organization and control of grooming in cats." Applied Animal Behavior Science. → Feline grooming serves not only thermoregulation and hygiene but also has aspects of mental self-care (displacement behavior). Excessive licking due to stress, or conversely, insufficient grooming due to decreased vitality, are indicators of mental health. *Feline Sleeping Places and Safety* Bradshaw, J. W. S. (2013) "The Behavior of the Domestic Cat." CABI. → For cats, which are both predators and prey, ensuring safety during sleep is of paramount importance in their survival strategy. Sleeping next to their owner, or sitting with their back turned (blind spot), is evidence that they perceive that place as a "100% safe zone." Cats perceiving their owners' emotions Morfeld, K. A., et al. (2015) "Social and environmental factors associated with feline overweight/obesity." Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science.
