Decoding the Mysteries of Cats

Are you curious to understand your cat's purr-plexing behaviors, such as chattering at birds and "making biscuits"?

Join this engaging Zoom session with feline behaviorist Stephen Quandt as he explains cat behavior from the perspective of the evolutionary and adaptive forces that help shape their lives. 

Learn about cats’ relationship to hunting and resting, “drive-by” ankle biting and play aggression, the confidence scale, early-morning wake up, exercise, and more. Quandt will also discuss cats' relationships to humans as influenced by the mother/kitten dynamic and how food affects cats and our relationships with them. 

The first 30 minutes of the program will be an informational presentation. The second half of the program will include a behavioral Q & A for those interested in behavior advice. Stephen Quandt is the founder of Stephen Quandt Feline Behavior Associates, LLC, a certified feline training and behavior specialist with more than 20 years of experience working with cats in private consultations, animal shelters, and in the field.
