Habituation and dishabituation to cat-attracting plants. The response duration of 4–5 domestic cats to three different cat-attracting plants is shown for 10 consecutive days. With habituation a gradual decrease in response duration over time is seen. Dishabituation is the reappearance or increased duration of a response to a different stimulus that is offered to the cats after habituation has occurred (day 11 or 12, or both) and its duration is similar or higher to what was seen on day 1. Results for A. polygama (A and B) are shown in red, for L. tatarica (C) in orange, and for N. cataria (D) in green. See Additional file: Figure S2B for more details. The differences between day 1 and 10 for A. polygama and L. tatarica were statistically significant (Friedman test). P values shown in the figure are from Dunn’s post hoc test. * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01
