People all around the world live with cats and cats engage in many social behaviors toward their owners. Olfaction is one of the most important sensory abilities in cats, yet its role in recognizing humans remains unclear. In this study, we assessed the role and characteristics of olfaction in the discrimination of known or unknown humans by cats using ethological methods. Whether cats exhibit a lateralization of nostril use in response to a variety of olfactory stimuli, exposure experience, int

There have been a lot of big games this year that have felt all-consuming, like Monster Hunter Wilds or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Maze Mice offers something different: a small, pick-up-and-play experience that takes a bunch of ideas from some classics and adds a clever twist.

Scientists have finally solved the greatest feline mystery of our time: Why is it, exactly, that some cats are orange? Two separate research teams have detailed the answer in two studies published Thursday in the journal Current Biology. They’ve identified the precise genetic mutation in these cats that explains their orangeness—a mutation not seen in other animals with similar coloration. Orange-furred cats are often referred to as gingers. And according to Chris Kaelin, lead author of one of

Others We Tested Photograph: Kat Merck Els Pet Orbitie for $269: This is one of the least expensive fully enclosed automatic litter boxes (there’s almost always a “coupon” for $100 off the list price of $369). It functions much like the more expensive models, with an internal 65-liter-capacity orb that rotates and catches clumps with a plastic grate, depositing them into a bag-lined box below. The opening is a generous 12 by 12 inches—plenty big enough for my two 7-year-old cats, who took to i

Cats are not the most innately musical creatures. They cannot sing like the thrush or drone with the whales. But their mews and paws have been long incorporated into other kinds of improvisations. Consider the sadistic sixteenth-century cat piano or stories about Alessandro Scarlatti’s black cat, Pulcinella, who inspired her master’s Cat Fugue in G minor during a bout of zoomies across his piano: “‘Bless the cat!’, he cried. ‘She has given me the very theme I have been groping after.’” Cats play

I have lived with cats my whole life. Beautiful, playful, discerning, and endlessly curious, cats are wonderful companions. Like Charles Dickens said, “What greater gift than the love of a cat?” My family is all cat people, but my youngest daughter is positively obsessed, and we have bought more than our fair share of the best gifts for cat lovers. When I searched “cat” in my Amazon orders, there were nine pages of results. While most of these cat-related gifts are for humans, I’ll throw in a f

Cats are beautiful, interesting, weird creatures. They're also very picky. Finding toys that they'll actually play with is tough—especially with the sheer oversaturation of the pet market today. Cats require a specific environment to play, scratch, and relax. Based on years of testing with our cats, these are our favorite WIRED-approved, tech-y cat toys and scratchers. Even if our cats rejected a particular product, we still examined overall construction, design, and value to determine whether i

A nationwide egg shortage has sent prices soaring at your local grocery store—and the culprit is H5N1 bird flu. The virus has infected poultry flocks in every US state, with more than 166 million chickens having been killed by the virus or culled to contain it. H5N1 is also spreading among cattle, with close to 1,000 US dairy herds affected, and is suspected to be widespread among wild birds. But these aren’t the only animals at risk. Domestic cats are particularly susceptible to catching the v

The Litter-Robot has been the Rolls-Royce of automatic litter boxes for the past decade or so. The oval box with a large, front-facing entrance sits on a stand with a step to better accommodate cats of all ages. The box itself has a footprint of 22 x 7 inches; it took up more height but slightly less floor space than my traditional litter box. It connects to Wi-Fi so you can track and program the box via Litter-Robot's Whisker app (available for Android and iOs). If it senses a cat at the entran
