So the study of psychology is something I have a major passion for...
Now I have 2 cats, both are pretty friendly, love the attention type cats.
So I wanted to see how my interest toward them over a period of a few weeks would change their behavior. The results were quite dramatic.
I basically went from showing them average interest to acting completely uninterested at all times. Before if they jumped on my lap when I was sitting on the couch I would pet them and make eye contact. I now began acting like they weren't even there, no eye contact, nothing. They now had to try to get my attention and boy they sure did. I quickly found them MUCH more interested in me, always surrounding me or every time I sat down they would literally compete to be the first one to jump on my lap. This only grew greater over the couple weeks, until I finally gave in. It was amazing to see how desperate they were for my attention.
So it got me thinking, is it possible we could translate this over toward females and get similar results?
