    Langues de Chat Science

    It’s our last episode of season 2 and we’ve got a fun-filled extravaganza to cap things off! No special guest this month but we do have not one but two informative segments- Two Cat Corner featuring poems written by our own Sara Grady, and a new feature here on the Kitchen called Two Cat Science. We delve into a couple of interesting studies involving- you guessed it- cats! The first looks at how cats rely on body size awareness when negotiating small openings, and the second examines contrafreeloading or the willingness of cats to work for food when equivalent food is freely available. Sounds fishy to us but check out the segment for the low-down! And we cap things off with a recipe for Langues de Chat featuring out new AI bot culinary assistant Tomy. All in all a hum-dinger of an episode!  Performed by The Coconotes:  Solace of You by Corey Glover and Vernon Alphonsus Reid, © Songs Of Smp, Hifi Asset Acquisition Co Lp  Performed by Two Cat Tango:  Down to the Mission by R. McKinney, © Two Cat Music  Cat Science articles:  Pongra´ cz, Cats are (almost) liquid!—Cats selectively rely on body size awareness when negotiating short openings, iScience (2024), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2024.110799  Mikel M.
