>To address this question, we analyzed 408 publicly available YouTube videos featuring a single cat in a clearly visible sleeping position while lying on one side, with an uninterrupted sleep duration of at least 10 seconds and full-body visibility from head to hind legs.
408 videos, showing bias towards leftward pose. They claim to have removed the mirrored videos from their samples.
YouTube videos of sleeping cats could have a left-leaning bias!
I wonder how you’d structure a proper study on this. Probably obtain a random selection of cat owners (slaves?) first.
