Cats! Why do they do the things they do? Like knocking that glass of water over or pouncing on your head at 4 am in the morning? Do you wonder why she has less-then-perfect manners – litterbox etiquette, attacking 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.
This is an online Zoom class.
