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!
