    Huh. I went and actually read the study, and the actual sample size is very small. 9 cats.

      Yeah, the article mentioned they had a sample size of 500 but not everyone that volunteered completed the experiment, as it was during Covid so they had to send the materials out and rely on “citizen scientists.” A pretty precarious way of conducting a scientific study.

        That does explain all those rockets exploding on the launch pads.
