Predictors of the Use of Enrichment Items in Colony Housed Shelter Cats

Samantha T. Libonate et al.

Summary: This study examined how cats select enrichment items in animal shelters and identified the factors influencing their choices. The presence of people in the room significantly decreased item use, males preferred vertical surfaces, and all cats used vertical surfaces more the longer they stayed at the shelter. Cats that were seized or signed over from hoarding or cruelty cases preferred enclosed spaces more. This research helps shelters effectively distribute limited resources and improve the welfare of individual cats.

Chewing behaviour in dogs-A survey-based exploratory study

Christine Arhant et al.

Summary: Dog owners provide edible and inedible chewing materials for their dogs, with some dogs chewing on household objects. The frequency of chewing on objects is not substantially related to the dog's motivation to play or engage in other activities. Owners believe that chewing material is important for both puppies and adult dogs, but more research is needed to understand dogs' motivation for chewing different types of materials and whether chewing can reduce stress.
