Flushing cat litter can also lead to clogs, despite what the label may say, as it doesn't fully dissolve in water. Instead, the best disposal method is to bag and throw it away in the bin. If you're concerned about the environmental impact, look for plant-based litters that compost safely.

Research indicates that dogs possess a remarkable capacity for empathy, which allows them to understand and mirror the emotional states of their human companions. Studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging have revealed that dogs exhibit similar neural responses to emotional stimuli as humans, particularly in brain regions associated with processing emotions and social cognition.

Furthermore, dogs demonstrate emotional contagion, meaning they can "catch" emotions from humans and other dogs, experiencing similar emotional states themselves. This phenomenon highlights dogs' sensitivity to the emotional atmosphere of their environment and their ability to form strong bonds with humans based on shared emotional experiences.

Moreover, dogs display behaviours indicative of emotional intelligence, such as comforting distressed individuals, seeking reassurance from their owners when anxious, and exhibiting signs of stress or sadness in response to negative stimuli. These observations suggest that dogs possess a sophisticated understanding of social dynamics and emotional cues, contributing to their reputation as empathetic and intuitive companions.
