About this listen
This episode dives into the complexities of cat behaviour.
Dr Claude Béata, animal behaviouralist and author of The Interpretation of Cats, emphasises cats dual role as both predator and prey and how this distinction can help us understand these most wonderful creatures.
Our discussion also covers the importance of experience in shaping behaviour, the nuances of attachment and over-attachment, and therapeutic approaches that prioritise positive reinforcement. Additionally, the conversation highlights the various aspects of cat behaviour, including litter box preferences, the debate between indoor and outdoor living, the fascination with cardboard boxes, the impact of breeding practices, and the challenges of adopting rescue cats.
Go order a copy of Dr Béata's book, The Interpretation of Cats and Their Owners. It's a fascinating, enjoyable, and enlightening book for all cat lovers. 😻
