Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

I don't think the test was conducted "exactly" the same, I think it was flawed and I'll explain later.  Maybe you can see what I saw too?

I would like to see what you see too: )  Do you mean not the same as both the baby and dog test? Or just the dog test.

The stranger was still distracting the cat when the owner came back in...and almost blocked the cat with the fishing pole toy from going to its owner?

The chair separations or time were different?

Stranger had a tink of catnip? just kidding.

OK, I give.

One more guess: what they were wearing?

Plus cat's have staff: x
Kitty really was interested in the new person, even jumped on her lap and never did go to its owner. I wonder how long she's had her cat. Maybe cat was mad that owner had it in a carry case....and said, I'll show you.

Oops - Actually, I watched it again, and I may be wrong.  I thought the dog test was the same as the baby test in that dog and owner entered the room alone before the stranger was introduced.
 
If that had been the case I thought mom/owner and baby/dog had conditioned themselves as being in the room alone before the stranger entered and disrupted their privacy.
 
 
I thought the cat test, was the only test where all three were in the room at the same time right from the beginning, allowing the cat to possibly deduce the owner was comfortable with the stranger, and therefore the cat should be too. And that not only did they enter the room together, but they all sat closely together as well, giving the cat a better sense of security toward the stranger.
 
But, I was wrong about what I saw...  :- (

Well, we all kind of know that cats choose their people, they feel superior and are far more independent.  I like that in an animal...

I miss my kitty. She died  in 2007 from the tainted Chinese pet food Iams. And it was on Valentine's day, we had so much snow it took over 2-3 days to dig out and it was too late to save her....she had to be put to sleep. That cat was so sweet she let me hold her in my arms like a baby. Most cats won't let you turn them over that way.
