I remember there being a lot of vision research on cats but I hadn't
heard of sleep research. Blaine Peden suggested doing a psychINFO
search using "cats" and specifiying "subjects" - I didn't know you
could do that but indeed you can and voila! More citations than I can
shake a stick at, including this one:
"Long-term changes in sleep and electroencephalographic activity by
chronic vagus nerve stimulation in cats."
A sleep study using cats. TIPS strikes again!
Thanks all,

research and sleep studies are just a few that come to mind right
now, but there are many others.

I believe that Hubel and Wiesel's early visual system research was
done with cats.

This question is prompted by the fact that we just got a cat: I was
wondering who else used cats in their research besides Thorndike. I
know Thorndike's used cats in his infamous puzzle boxes to
substantiate the "law" of effect, but any other well known
psychological studies use cats?
