Often I conduct my own experiments on the cats if I know they are going to die soon and we are finished with them. I deal mostly with neurology so I like to see how the cat reacts when I remove certain pieces of it’s brain. I also just like to have fun by sticking electrodes in the cat’s brain and observing how different types of shocks affect their muscles. Tell me is there anything wrong with this? It shouldn’t matter if the cat is going to die anyway?
