    This study introduces a novel conditioning system to train cats for reproducible prehension movements. The system utilizes a specialized cage, automated food delivery, and controlled timing for consistent training outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Animal behavior science
    • Neuroscience
    • Robotics

    Context:

    • Developing reliable methods for animal training is crucial for research.
    • Standardized protocols are needed to ensure reproducibility in animal studies.
    • Understanding motor control in animals can inform robotic applications.

    Purpose:

    • To describe a novel conditioning system for training cats.
    • To achieve high reproducibility in cat prehension movements.
    • To establish a standardized training protocol for feline motor tasks.

    Summary:

    • The system comprises a specialized cage with a footboard to standardize front leg starting positions.
    • An electropneumatic machine delivers food rewards to train specific movements.
