    Cougars aiding drivers: Study shows big cats keep deer away from roads

    Can predators actually protect drivers? On this episode of Oregon on the Record, host Michael Dunne talks with Justin Suraci, senior scientist and director of wildlife conservation science at Conservation Science Partners, about groundbreaking research from Washington's Olympic Peninsula. Using data from 503 camera traps and 59 GPS-collared pumas, Suraci and his team found that areas with high mountain lion activity see up to a 76% drop in deer-vehicle collisions, because pumas change where and when deer roam, pushing them away from roads and into safer habitat. The conversation digs into the "landscape of fear," the $14.7 million cost of wildlife collisions on the peninsula, and why understanding the hidden benefits of large carnivores, not just the risks, matters for human-wildlife coexistence.

    Tabby training: OSU study shows benefits of cat training

    A new Oregon State University study shows cats are far more trainable than most people think, and the benefits go both ways. On this episode of Oregon On The Record, host Michael Dunne talks with Monique Udell, an OSU professor who directs the Human-Animal Interaction Lab, about her research on cat-child training. The study paired 36 children with developmental disabilities with their family cats for a six-week training program covering basic commands, harness training and cat body language. The results: children took on more caretaking responsibility, cats showed increased sociability, and the child-cat bond grew stronger over the following year. Udell also discusses cats' potential as therapy animals, the “adventure cat” movement, and how training can boost stimulation and welfare for indoor-only cats.
