Can Dogs Detect the Next Pandemic Before It Begins? | Glen J. Golden | TED
What if animals like dogs, ferrets, mice and raccoons could help sniff out the next pandemic? Exploring the science of smell, neurobiologist Glen J. Golden delves into the development of a “mechanical nose” that could detect diseases by identifying specific odor profiles. Until that technology is fully developed, he explains how we can train humanity’s…

How about humans? Human has brought much more vicious species like mink to various continents that are born killers. But cats are something that has helped agriculture for centuries and contributed to keeping humans alive. Imagine how much worse like plague would’ve been back in time. It’s not so black and white as you think.

So, my beloved cat can’t deal with “biscuits”. And i can’t deal with the diarrhea he emits when he’s had them…. On the carpets, on my bed, NEXT to (12 inches away from) the cat commode (NOT an accident and the commodes are cleaned daily)…
I’ve looked at the “mostly meat” varieties of cat treats and they are more expensive than the $12 per pound I spend on fresh, organic meat for his meals.
And I’d LOVE to give him “treats” and rewards, but… I don’t love cleaning up his feces. IN the box, no problem, but he gets kaolin clay daily just to keep the meat diet under control. (Vet can’t find anything wrong with him, no bugs, no bacteria he can identify).
So he chases feathers on a cat fishing pole…
He’s an indoor cat and bored., frequently rejecting toys… Hates catnip and silvervine.

We all share a collective orbit around the sun named Sol in this solar system and are by definition Solarian, why call ourselves humans on planet earth? it’s not inclusive and implies failet dirt… Sol 3 is a much better name for this world.

That’s nonsense. Cats are FAMOUSLY known for playing with their prey. Are you new to earth?
You can even play with the cat before mealtime, that way, the cat “catches” the prey and get to eat. That makes the cat happy.

@@BillHicks420 you’re the one who’s new to earth if you think that’s nonsense… i feed my cat once a day and she just eats it slowly throughout the day in her own time. she plays all the time independent of food and i’ve never met a happier cat. treating cats like wild animals who need to kill is doing a disservice to their intelligence and capability to enjoy play without food as a reward.

As the owner of a sphynx, it’s safe to say my cat plays a LOT lmfao With anything he can get his paws on, in fact.
I tried to get him interested in a puzzle feeder (shaped like a mouse that I’d hide in various locations for him to sniff out) but he lost interest pretty quickly.
It also doesn’t help that I’ve got two dogs he plays with regularly and that would 10000% eat any food in any puzzle feeder I put on the floor lol
I do feel like he would adapt quickly to the spinning test tube feeder she showed though (mostly because he spins the toilet paper roll like no one’s business lmao). And food would be all over the floor for the dogs to get, of course.
Otherwise, really, none of this is new 🙂 Anyone who has a cat and has done their proper research knows this stuff already.
