A National Household Survey of Self-Reported Cat-Flap Curfew Delay
A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities surveys 340 cat-owning households nationally on how many minutes after a smart flap's programmed curfew their cat is typically still outside, finding a right-skewed delay distribution that rises with distance from the nearest street light. A home insurer is now drafting the sample median into the pass threshold for a wildlife-curfew discount tier.
