摘要
Continuous graphical records of the amount of food eaten by cats during a period of feeding were subjected to mathematical analysis. These records closely approximated the exponential equation, f = c (1[-e mt), in which f = amount of food eaten, c = constant, e = base e of natural logarithms, [image] = constant, and t = time.
