Saying he performed key experiments in behavior sounds extremely misleading because he was a firm believer in eugenics and his ideas have received credible criticism.
He should probably be left in this article due to the influence he's had and his experiments with cats, but I don't think he deserves his own section or to be treated like an authority on the matter. 2600:6C42:67F0:8090:C07D:E4C4:DD5E:C500 (talk) 18:29, 16 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Neither citation 1 nor 2 contain any mention of cats so far as I can tell, 1 being am article describing the paper cited in 2, done on rats. While it might be reasonable to conclude that these findings can be generalized to mammals or animals with REM cycles that claim does not seem to exist in either source directly, making their use in support of cat dream behaviors suspect. 71.34.146.117 (talk) 17:43, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
- I've removed that entire paragraph. There appears to be a lot of uncited/unreliably sources claims in this article, I'll take a look tomorrow myself. Traumnovelle (talk) 08:35, 19 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
