"Have you been thinking about working with cats, but hesitant to take the plunge? When your client with a dog (or parrot or horse or other pet) asks you about their cats, are you afraid to answer? Maybe you have helped people with cats here and there, but don’t feel comfortable advertising cat consulting as one of your skills. Irith Bloom has news for you: Even a non-cat behavior consultant has many of the skills needed to help with cat behavior, since behavior principles apply across species. In this session, Irith will help cat novices (and even behavior consultants with cat experience) get more comfortable with cat cases. She’ll talk about cat body language, normal cat behavior (including behavior humans may not love), and warning signs that something is awry. She’ll also discuss a few common cat behavior issues – including one that is often overlooked – and how to address them. This session will be interactive, so come prepared to participate! After this presentation, you will be able to: – Describe cat behavior in client-friendly terms. – Implement behavior modification plans for cats. – Encourage household participation in training. "
