DOI: 10.1002/wsb.737
Abstract: We reviewed data collected from 82 wildlife rehabilitation centers throughout North America (the WILD-ONe database) during a 3.5-year period to determine common causes of admission and disposition of animals. We found domestic pets to be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10071-021-01530-3
Abstract: Contrafreeloading is the willingness of animals to work for food when equivalent food is freely available. This behavior is observed in laboratory, domesticated, and captive animals. However, previous research found that six laboratory cats failed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-97401-5
Abstract: Habitat fragmentation and loss have contributed significantly to the demographic decline of European wildcat populations and hybridization with domestic cats poses a threat to the loss of genetic purity of the species. In this study… read more here.
