Formally, this is an example of positive punishment where the addition of a stimulus decreases the likelihood of the target behavior occuring again.
Negative reinforcement refers to subtracting/removing a stimulus to increase the likelihood of a target behavior (think reducing a prison sentence for good behavior).
I slowed it downed and to me it looks like they were fighting. Sink-cat being in despair after getting hit by that unexpected stream, top-cat still punched her twice while she was trying to get away. Is that pure evil or are cats just build that way?
They were fighting, you can tell just from their body language at the start. Sink cat surrendered. Then sink cat got wet and seemed to have decided that surrendering is not as important as not being blasted by water. I’m guessing that then sink cat got hit for getting back up before being permitted.
In regards to cats? So far I like them as such. Not so much how they treat each other. As you can tell, don’t know enough about them. I will never be able to afford one anyways. Not sure if I even want to.
In general? Going way off topic here: I’m still figuring that out, while trying to find my place and purpose in this world. I read about a democracy (proper one) where actual power is with the people and governments can and have to be held accountable. Sovereignty of the people if I remember correctly.
This should tell you enough of my naivety, which obviously augments romanticizing a utopia.
