Cats: Decoding the Mysteries, with Stephen Quandt
May 9 @ 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
This webinar will cover:
♦ Cats’ relationships to hunting and resting through the cycle of predation can lead to “drive-by” ankle biting, play aggression, early morning wake-ups, and food aggression.
♦ Their sense of identity as predators or prey on the “confidence scale” can lead to similar behaviors but can also result in fearful cats, victimized cats (cat-on-cat aggression), fear aggression, and/or redirected aggression.
♦ Their relationship with us, as influenced by the mother/kitten relationship and which connects them to us through food needs, attention, and comfort-seeking
♦ And finally, the relationships among hunger, appetite, metabolism, and exercise to all the above!
Stephen Quandt, founder of Stephen Quandt Feline Behavior Associates, LLC and certified Feline Training and Behavior Specialist, most recently with the Animal Care Centers of NYC (nycacc.org) and also of the ASPCA.org, has created a feline behavior webinar for the public that explains cat behavior from the perspective of the evolutionary and adaptive forces that help shape their lives.
