About the event
In Partnership with Sustainably Yours, Cat Litter & Cat Fest, Healthy Treats
This session covers the fundamental knowledge any new cat parent should have. Following international guidelines for cat care, we will discuss everything a cat needs to be happy and answer your questions about confusing behaviour you may experience. This is also suitable for seasoned cat parents who still have questions or if you want to make your cat's life better.
For new cat parents; google is like an ocean of information and you can find good fish & bad fish there. Common cat myths can lead you astray. Have you ever heard someone say, "Cats are low maintenance". I think that those people were probably comparing cats to dogs. You may not have to take your cat for a walk but you will have to clean their litter box. A pet still involves care & effort, just a different kind.
This session will discuss the 5 pillars that support a healthy & happy cat according to International cat-friendly organisations that have poured years into researching the behaviour and lifestyle of your little feline. Cat care doesn't have to be confusing. Allow research & studies to guide you to the truth about your cat.Â
After the workshop, the supplementary material mentioned during the session will be emailed to you.
ABOUT YOUR SPEAKER:Â
The speaker is Amanda Tong (MSc in Clinical Animal Behaviour) who has been working with animals since 2015. She is the only Feline Behaviourist in India with a degree in Animal Behaviour from an accredited university. She has worked with over 150 cats & has collaborated with brands, NGOs, and rescuers to further educate cat parents about proper welfare & behaviour. She hosted India's first 'Cat Behaviour webinar Series' with Sib Kushi & hosted India's first Online Kitty Kindergarten. She hopes to create more awareness about a highly misunderstood species.Â
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THIS SESSION?Â
A cat's well-being can be highly linked to the environment the cat lives in. This session will cover how to set up the cat's environment to meet the needs of the species & increase their welfare while you care for them. How to build routines that make life easier for everyone. We will also touch upon a highly requested section on cat husbandry (like feeding medication) as this doesn't HAVE to be a highly stressful activity.
Imagine feeding a goldfish their dinner with a spoon. Sounds crazy right? As a hunter, your cat has needs that tap into that. Â It's important to thrive and not just exist. I believe in responsible pet keeping rather than ornamental pet keeping.
Many cat parents tell me they wish they knew this information earlier on. It's never too late to learn, better now than never.
PLEASE NOTE: This session will NOT go into details regarding medical or dietary care. Please consult your vet or a nutritionist.Â
