An Introduction to Cat Behaviour

Decode Your Cat’s Mysterious Behaviour

Cats can be independent, unpredictable, and at times, a little contradictory. Unlike dogs, their social structure is less cooperative, often based on tolerance rather than collaboration. As a unique mix of both predator and prey, their natural response to stress may be aggression, but they often prefer to remain unnoticed. This course explores the evolution of feline behaviour, helping you better understand why cats act the way they do.
