Ever wondered how the world of pet cognition parallels that of human language learning? Join us as we explore this fascinating topic with insights from researchers in Tokyo and Azabu University, who have uncovered groundbreaking evidence that cats can associate words with images, similar to infants learning language. This discovery challenges our perception of feline intelligence and opens new dimensions in our communication with our feline companions. We'll also draw intriguing comparisons with canine cognition, highlighting the different ways cats and dogs engage with language and their surroundings.

Our special guest, New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Holland, takes us through the world of canine intelligence with her latest book, "Dog Smart." Listen to captivating stories about dogs' extraordinary olfactory abilities and the concept of "intelligent disobedience," where seeing-eye dogs make safety-driven decisions by disobeying commands. From the adaptable street dogs to the problem-solving prowess of Border Collies, we celebrate the multifaceted intelligence of dogs and their irreplaceable role in our lives.
