`Kitten classes` to prevent future behaviour problems
|
This very convincing concept might be the beginning of a new service in veterinary practices: By helping owners to understand feline behavioural development and communication it should be possible to educate them about why and when behaviour problems may occur and how they may be able to be prevented.

When a new kitten is introduced into the household it is important to set up for success by not allowing a kitten to have too many opportunities to make mistakes.
By setting clear boundaries for acceptable behaviour as soon as possible after the kitten arrives and rewarding appropriate behaviour, rather than punishing unacceptable behaviour means a successful bond should develop and persist between the kitten and the owner.
In the excellent article published in the current issue of the FECAVA Journal all details can be found.
