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!
