Therapy cats at work, New Jersey, US. Some cats, called "therapy cats" are trained to help ailing humans in a medically beneficial way to take advantage of the human-animal interaction for purposes of relaxation and healing. Certain breeds are desirable when looking into therapy cats due to their personality and temperament.
Cats have one of the broadest ranges of hearing among mammals. [11] Humans and cats have a similar range of hearing on the low end of the scale, but cats can hear much higher-pitched sounds, up to 64 kHz, which is 1.6 octaves above the range of a human, and 1 octave above the range of a dog. [12]
Recent work in ACI has focused on how internet connected technologies, such as Internet of Things (IoT), can support animals. [32] This includes technologies such as remote video call devices for dogs to call their owners, [33] speculative technologies for dogs to sense their owners [34] and technologies to support dog-to-dog interactions mediated by the internet.

Zirconium is a lustrous, greyish-white, soft, ductile, malleable metal that is solid at room temperature, though it is hard and brittle at lesser purities. [12] In powder form, zirconium is highly flammable, but the solid form is much less prone to ignition. Zirconium is highly resistant to corrosion by alkalis, acids, salt water and other ...
Zircon (/ ˈ z ɜːr k ɒ n,-k ən /) [7] [8] [9] is a mineral belonging to the group of nesosilicates and is a source of the metal zirconium. Its chemical name is zirconium(IV) silicate, and its corresponding chemical formula is Zr SiO 4. An empirical formula showing some of the range of substitution in zircon is (Zr 1–y, REE y)(SiO 4) 1–x ...
Organozirconium chemistry is the science of exploring the properties, structure, and reactivity of organozirconium compounds, which are organometallic compounds containing chemical bonds between carbon and zirconium. [2] Organozirconium compounds have been widely studied, in part because they are useful catalysts in Ziegler-Natta polymerization.
Dr. Molly Brinkmann, a veterinarian from Tennessee, made the most relatable TikTok video about how different dog breeds (and even a few cats) greet their humans, and pet owners from across the ...
Cats sometimes "head-bump" humans or other cats with the front part of the head; this action is referred to as "bunting". [43] This communication might have an olfactory component as there are scent glands in this area of the body, and is possibly for seeking attention when the cat turns its head down or to the side.
