i like that the methodology for this is that they told the cat which of its cat friends they were gonna show it, and the cat was like "ok", and then they showed it a different cat and the cat was like "hey wait a minute"
@alex my favorite touch is the two (? was it the same cat both times?) escapees noted in each experiment
the ☀️ & the 🌑
@alex this is v similar to (human) infant language study protocols! https://www.researchgate.net/figure/The-head-turn-preference-paradigmInfants-are-seated-on-a-parents-lap-in-a_fig5_235628752
