His research is in anthrozoology - the science of human-animal interactions. He focuses in particular on the behaviour and welfare of domestic cats and dogs, and their relationships with people. In addition to his writing in scientific journals, he is known for making the science of cat and dog welfare accessible to pet owners, through books, articles, radio and television, including the BBC TV Horizon programmes “The Secret Life of the Cat” and “Little Cat Diaries”.

His theoretical interests also include: human-animal relations; theories of evolution in anthropology, biology and history; and relations between biological, psychological and anthropological approaches to culture and social life.
