Avon Library Hosting Cat Whisperer For Unique Event

Avon Free Public Library

AVON, CT — Anyone who has cats and has tried to figure them out has probably learned that it is as futile as trying to catch that red dot moving around on the wall.

But an Avon Free Public Library program on Tuesday, May 22, will attempt to educate feline lovers on cat behavior anyway.

The library, 281 Country Club Road, Avon, will host a 2 p.m. lecture on cat behavior, to be delivered by cat expert Stephen Quandt.

He founded Stephen Quandt Feline Behavior Associates and is a certified feline training and behavior specialist.

His talk will discuss:

· Cats' relationships to hunting and resting and how it can lead to "drive-by" ankle biting, play aggression, early morning wake up, and food aggression.

· Their sense of identity in being a predator or being prey, which can lead to similar behaviors but can also result in fearful cats.

· Their relationship with people as influenced by the mother/kitten relationship that they learned from their mother cat.

· The relationship between hunger, appetite, metabolism and exercise.
