- Make a study of cats for a science fair project.cat image by Darren Ager from Fotolia.com
Finding an idea for a science fair sits as close as your pet cat. Performing a behavioral study on your cat does not harm her; it only means watching your cat as she reacts to a given situation. So, when you present your findings, record a visible disclaimer that you did not harm any animals when you conducted your study. - Examine your cat's reactions to catnip.green herb. mexican mint image by joanna wnuk from Fotolia.com
Compare your cat's reactions to the catnip different manufacturers produce, according to an article on the Family Education website. Offer your cat different brands of catnip or try fresh and dried catnip. Record your observations about how the cat reacts to each, and whether he prefers one type of catnip over another. Repeat your study with another cat, if possible. - Discover whether your cat favors one paw over another.cat paws image by Albert Lozano from Fotolia.com
Determine whether your cat appears to favor one paw over another. Roll a ball five times in front of a cat to see which paw he uses to bat it back. Alternatively, place cat treats inside a cardboard tube with one end taped closed. Watch the cat to see which paw she uses to reach into the tube to pull out the treat. Refill the tube with fresh treats and try it four more times to see if your cat uses the same paw every time. Repeat your experiment with at least two other cats, if possible, and present your findings at a science fair. - Determine if different pitches affect your cat.ear image by Alexandr Potapov from Fotolia.com
Find out if certain sounds affect your cat differently. Observe how your cat reacts when you blow a high-pitched whistle, play a low bass sound and play a song on the radio. Study the reactions of at least two other cats to make your findings more credible. Draw conclusions on whether pitch determines the way the cat responds to a sound.
