I can't even get mine to consistenly bury their poo in the litter tray, never mind getting them to help to unlock new cancer treatments.
Adorable? Yes.
Helpful? No.
You need to introduce then to the scientific method when they're still kittens. Ideally before their eyes are open.
My cat kneeds my abdomen when I am constipated and then like 10 minutes later I am running to the bathroom. Pretty cool.
And here they are, hard at work…
Just seeing that cats cute little face made my day a bit brighter, so there’s that!
Unfortunately this will require us to blend them and extract the medicine
Look, as much as I don't want cancer, I'm not willing to consume my fuzzy girl for her antioxidants...
Smarty cats
Nooooo! Don't experiment on cats!
