Thinking of having pet chickens?

Cats! Why do they do the things they do? Ever wonder why your cat just has to keep knocking off that glass of water over? Pounces on your head at 4 am in the morning? Why she has less-then-perfect manners? (Ahem….need help with her litterbox etiquette?…) Attacks your feet when you walk by? Biting? This class will explore why these behavioral issues arise, help you to understand why your cat does the things she does, and give you strategies to help manage these problematic behaviors.

Many people believe that cats can’t be trained, but they CAN be. We’ll teach you how to communicate with your cat and provide mental stimulation using positive reinforcement techniques to train away unwanted behaviors. This is a really great way to bond, or enhance your bond, with your cat.
