Cats are emotionally lateralized?! What madness is this?!
oh wow. I wonder if this is reversed or absent in some cats ~Chara
Feels like it would have to be? Developmentally, you're going to get lateralization the other way some of the time in most species. Trouble is, doesn't seem like we should stress cats out on the industrial scale needed to get that estimate of the rate of reversal to be more precise. 
wait does this mean measuring my cats right ear temp can tell me just how stressed they are??
But measuring their left ear doesn't, yes. Assuming the study replicates/generalizes, of course. This is the first I'm hearing any of this.
