Ep. 50- How an analysis of cat behavior can help the everyday behavior analyst

This is one of my favorite articles in JABA, primarily because I am huge cat person. However, I also really enjoy the focus on solid behavioral methodology and function-based treatments. These authors took a creative approach to a socially significant problem and ended up having a great intervention and teaching tool to show for it.
