Learn what cats living in your home need to thrive. You will learn how to read cat body language to discover how they are doing in your home. We will then consider home environments “from the cat’s point of view” to assess the resources available to meet their needs for health and welfare. After we identify ways of making their environment even better, we will learn how to implement them and how to determine whether the changes had the intended positive effect. You will need to have a cat in your home, the ability to make any changes you identify and the willingness to discuss your situation with others in class so we all can learn from one another.
