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

The BFL is happy to host Certified Feline Training and Behavior Specialist Stephen Quandt for a virtual discussion of cat behavior.  Why does your kitty launch drive-by ankle biting attacks?  Does she really have to wake you up so early for food?  And what is with the overly aggressive play-fighting between the two tabbies?

Stephen Quandt, behavior expert who has worked with the Animal Care Centers of NYC and the ASPCA, will explain these common cat behaviors from the perspective of the evolutionary and adaptive forces that help shape their furry lives.  For example, he’ll explain the influence of the mother/kitten relationship on the kittens’ innate needs for food, attention, and comfort.

This discussion will include a Q& A portion where you can seek guidance for your feline friends.
