Scientists at Purdue University conducted the research, hoping to quantify our pets’ aptitude for fetching.

Based on data from over 8,000 cat owners, the scientists found that about 41% of cats exhibited classic fetching behavior.

Fetching was more common among both cats and dogs if they were younger, male, and/or in generally good health.
