Cats, dogs and other animals we love - what are they trying to tell us??

Sure we love our animals.  Rover and Fluffy are like family to us. But we often make the mistake of assuming animal behaviour is human behaviour.  But it’s not – they are not us.Animals have their own language and their own behaviours which can confound us and leave us scratching our heads.  Psychologist Suzanne MacDonald has long been fascinated by animals and studies their behaviour to gain more insight into how their worlds work.Let’s delve into the minds of Rover, Fluffy and a whole host of fascinating animals.  You won’t look at them the same way again!Info on Guest:Suzanne MacDonald is a psychologist who studies animal behaviour (a rare breed!) in the Dept. of Psychology at York University.For more info about her:  https://health.yorku.ca/health-profiles/index.php?mid=4702Check out her website and the cute racoon!   https://suzannemacdonald.ca/Add’l Info: We’d really appreciate your support!  Please rate our podcast and subscribe and follow us on social @CRAMideas.  Thanks for listening!  We’d really appreciate your support!  Please rate our podcast and subscribe and follow us on social @CRAMideas.  Support the CRAM Podcast!Research shapes our lives, yet so much of it doesn’t reach the public.
