Course Description
If you're a new cat owner, this course is for you. Understanding a cat is not as simple as understanding a dog. Cats can possess a Buddha-like calmness that exudes wisdom but then exhibit psychotic-like behavior when confronted with a different brand of litter or feeding bowl or (heaven forbid) a new furniture arrangement.
In this self-paced class, we'll provide you with insights into the mysterious and challenging world of feline psychology by covering the following topics:
-
Basics of Cat Care
-
Veterinary Visits
-
Cat Behavior and Issues
-
Cat Health Guidelines
-
Feline First Aid
-
Training Cats
-
The Aging Process
You'll soon find out that cat's rule the house, and this enjoyable course does an excellent job of explaining how you can share in their reign!
