What? YHTBKM, right? We had to share this one along with some tongue-in-cheek.
Behavioral scientists’ research results concluded that cattle have the intelligence and neurophysiological foundations that make toilet training possible.
The learning method of so-called operant conditioning, which is based on a reward for the desired behavior, has proven itself. Practical integration into everyday settings will play a decisive role in realizing success.
Imagine . . .
- The first discussion, “Hey, do you suppose we could potty train a cow?”
- Genomics companies begin a race to identify the toilet trainable genes.
Oh Pavlov, where are you when we need you?!

INSIGHTS: I’m thankful that animal scientists seek possibility where questions sometimes never existed. Seriously, though, wouldn’t it be great for cows to have cleaner feet and Bobcat scoops to last longer?
