Our cats know what time we're supposed to get up, what time we're supposed to be home, what Saturday is (God forbid we are away from the house that day), that when they are tossed in the car, a left turn at the light means we're going to visit favorite Uncle K - so no meowing - and a right turn means we're going to the vet - so lots of meowing.
This study is bunk.
FYI that's 'Caturday'...
It is bunk, I agree. My dogs ‘know’ so much it amazes me.
the author seems to suggest that animals remember things but don’t project into the future, i.e. your dog knows that every day at 6am he gets a treat, but does not anticipate tomorrow and the day after. Kind of like the first few sequences in Ground hog day.
