This causes the device to emit high frequency noise which is uncomfortable to the cats, and inaudible to most humans (although they can still experience unpleasant subjective effects and, potentially, shifts in the hearing threshold [1]). The devices are available in both battery and mains operated forms, the latter generally having a higher ...

Animals such as rats and mice display a natural aversion to brightly lit open areas. However, they also have a drive to explore a perceived threatening stimulus. Decreased levels of anxiety lead to increased exploratory behavior. Increased anxiety will result in less locomotion and a preference to stay close to the walls of the field (thigmotaxis).
USVs serve as social signals, [2] and are categorized according to their frequency. Different categories of USVs are elicited in response to different situations and varying affective states. [ 3 ] The behavioural functions of USVs vary as a rat or mouse pup reaches the juvenile/adult stage of their development. [ 1 ]
Bat call frequencies range from as low as 11 kHz to as high as 212 kHz. [20] Insectivorous aerial-hawking bats, those that chase prey in the open air, have a call frequency between 20 kHz and 60 kHz, because it is the frequency that gives the best range and image acuity and makes them less conspicuous to insects. [21]
[3] [4] It is thought that the wild ancestors of cats and dogs evolved this higher hearing range in order to hear high-frequency sounds made by their preferred prey, small rodents. [3] The frequency of most dog whistles is within the range of 23 to 54 kHz, [ 5 ] so they are above the range of human hearing, although some are adjustable down ...
X-ray image of a microchip implant in a cat. A microchip implant is an identifying integrated circuit placed under the skin of an animal. The chip, about the size of a large grain of rice, uses passive radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology, and is also known as a PIT (passive integrated transponder) tag.
