You don't believe that cat care was the only insight revealed by this study, do you? Did the Associated Press publish the thesis, the methodology and the entire compendium of findings after the study?
And are you anti-intellectual? The way you titled the thread leads me to this conclusion.
Yes, I am anti-intellectual because most of the time, the screw ups in this world and this country are by the supposed "intellectual."
We are being run, right now, by a supposed "intellectual" and look at the mess he is making of it.
The "intellectuals" prior to WWII thought appeasment to Hitler was the right way to go and they despised Churchill because he was the only one warning not to trust Hitler.
When war broke out, look who those intellectuals ran to, to fix the mess, THEY had caused.
I have no use for intellectuals, because most of time "intellectual" is just a label for an elitist who thinks he knows far more than he really does.
I prefer people who really know what they are talking about. I see damn few those people among the "intellectual."
And a study that concludes what would be common sense for any pet owner is is a glaring example of this.
