Decoding the Mysteries of Cats, or Why Cats Do What They Do

Wednesday, March 136:30—7:30 PMVirtual EventWorcester, MA, 01608

This webinar pulls together and interrelates: 

-The Cycle of Predation can lead to "drive-by"ankle biting, play aggression, early morning wake up, and food aggression as examples. 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 redirected aggression.

-Their relationship with us as it's influenced by the Mother/Kitten Relationship that they learned from their mother and that connects them to us through food needs, attention and comfort-seeking, and their status with their most favored and/or least favored people.

-And finally the relationship between Hunger, Appetite, Metabolism, and Exercise to all the above!

Q&A to follow after the presentation.
