Responses of cats to petting by humans
There is evidence that different gland areas in animals of the cat family have different functions. This study showed that nine cats gave more positive and fewer negative responses to petting by their owners in the temporal region (between the eyes and ears), the reverse to petting in the caudal region (around the tail), with the perioral (chin and lips) and non-gland areas intermediate. This suggests that cats prefer being petted in certain body…
Horse reactions to human attitudes and behavior
To assess the effects of human confidence levels on horse behavior, 40 veterinary students led the same mare around a fixed course. Multivariate analysis of human attitudes and behavior and horse behavior showed that a positive attitude towards horses related to infrequent ear movement in that horse (accounting for 46% of variance); positive attitude, together with low lead tension, related to a horse's forward ear position (47%); loose lead tens…

Some animals use warning coloration to frighten other animals. To see if animals respond to humans who wear clothing with animal-like warning patterns, 22 impounded dogs and 15 living in kennels were tested. Dogs responded more strongly primarily with submission to people wearing narrow, regular striped shirts than to those with wider stripes, with irregular stripes, with spots, or to non-warning patterns of similar composition. If people wish to…
Infant stumptailed macaques reared with mirrors or peers
Dominance, physiology, and self-aggression in monkeys
Several tests failed to detect any relationship between the amount of self-aggression (SA) and either spontaneous or contrived dominance rank of self-aggressive stumptailed macaques living in groups. SA and stereotyped movements were affected differently when the subjects were given drugs, suggesting a dissociation between these two behaviors. SA did not correlate with measured adrenocortical arousal, indicating that self-aggressive monkeys are n…
Social and environmental influences on self-aggression in monkeys
Contact and Separation in Adult Monkeys
To assess the hypothesis that individual space may reflect differential levels of attachment and, if so, grooming and huddling may both be good measures of attachment, each of 10 adult female Macaca arctoides experienced a 23-hour separation from a stable group of 33 monkeys. On return, grooming and receipt of grooming increased over pre-separation levels whereas huddling, except for ventro-ventral huddling, decreased. Surprisingly, while there w…
Rhesus plasma cortisol response at four dominance positions
Adrenocortical function and social behaviors were measured in 48 laboratory-born juvenile monkeys in stable (original) groupings at rest, in the same groupings in competition for drinking water, in newly formed groupings each composed of animals from the same original dominance position, and upon return to the original groupings, always in groups of four. In newly formed groupings, plasma cortisol measured higher with each step down in the new do…
