I enjoy learning about animals and how they think, cats especially!!

I found out that the most popular pet to have is a Dog, then a Cat

In 1873 there was an article on “Animal Language” in the “Manufacturer and Builder,” a 19th century periodical (1869-1894) that I found on LOC.gov

This explains that animal behavior was not only studied and recorded in the 21st century but far back into the early 1870’s.

And that other people Actually CARED about animal psychology back then.

Notice the strangeness of the old English language of the time (See next slide).

Animal Research Advances Animal and Human Welfare

Psychologists do research to learn more about behavior and how knowledge of behavior can be used to advance the welfare of people and animals.

Although much research in psychology uses people as subjects, research with animal subjects continues to be essential for answering some

fundamental questions. Since Charles Darwin's work, which emphasized continuity in evolution from animals to people in their mental abilities and in physical characteristics, psychologists have worked to understand the basic principles and processes that underlie the behavior of all creatures, human

and nonhuman. As knowledge has accumulated, identification of characteristics that are unique to different species has yielded information

that contributes to understanding and advancing the welfare of animals and people.

To sum it up: Scientists believe that animals have their own language to share with us

Project in Action

For all we know, a cats mind can be more spiritual than we think.

Some day we will learn how all minds work and someday we just may be able to hear what others think.

Even an animals!
