A study has suggested that domestic cats are actually less exploitative of their 'owners' than their reputation suggests (https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/sep/23/cats-bond-with-owners-and-are-not-as-aloof-as-they-seem-study-shows). It is claimed that pet cats bond with their care-givers, and this is evident in their showing less anxiety and more exploration in the presence of their human side-kick. I (and others) are not too sure about this. I still believe that they only rub themselves against your legs, when you give them food, to odour-mark the member thus warning other cats off.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
