Decoding the Mysteries of Cats

Feline behaviorist and animal welfare professional Stephen Quandt explains cat behavior from the perspective of the evolutionary and adaptive forces that shape cats' lives. Join us via Zoom as Stephen explains the Cycle of Predation and the Confidence Scale, which can lead to "drive-by" ankle biting, play aggression, early morning wake up, and food aggression, among other issues. He will also explain the mother/kitten relationship that connects them to us through food needs, attention seeking, and their status with their most favored/least favored people. Finally, he will discuss the connection between hunger, appetite, metabolism, and exercise to all of the above! There will be a Q&A following the presentation for patrons to ask for personal pet advice. Registration is required; please sign up below!
