This Webinar Explains the Origins and Driving Forces Behind Cat Behaviors and WHY Cats Do WHAT They Do!

Guest speaker: STEPHEN QUANDT, Cat BehavIorist

About this Event

Why do some cats over-stimulate and get upset when being pet? Why do others stalk us with "drive by" ankle biting? What about cats with the late night "crazies", the early morning "alarm clock", food gorging or cat on cat aggression? All of this and more can all be explained by looking at the evolutionary and adaptive forces that have shaped cats' lives and that often follow them into homes.

This webinar pulls together and interrelates:

• Cats' relationship to hunting and resting through the Cycle of Predation that can lead to various types of aggression
• Their sense of identity in being a predator or being prey on the Confidence Scale that 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 influenced by the Mother/Kitten Relationship that they experienced with their mother cat and that connects them to us through food needs, attention 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!

At the end will be a Q&A and those people who have cat behavior problems will be able to book a private consultation. See cat-behavior-help.com for more info!
