Recent research reveals we've underestimated cats—especially their social needs, behaviors, and cognitive potential. Understanding cat behavior isn’t just vital for feline welfare; it also impacts human health and environmental outcomes. In this talk we will discuss some of the reasons why studying and working with cats is not only fascinating but immensely rewarding. Whether you're curious about expanding your research or training programs to include cats, want to better understand our feline friends (or simply want to understand why others find them so appealing), join us to explore the science behind a species currently challenging dogs for the title of most popular animal companion.
