The name play aggression is a misnomer as it can be a painful behavior for clients and other pets in the home to live with! This presentation will explain the overlap between play and predatory behavior in cats, and why some cats take their predatory behavior too far. I’ll discuss how to distinguish play aggression from other forms of feline aggression. I’ll also present several humane ways to help prevent and stop play aggressive behavior, while channeling all of that feline energy in positive directions!
Speaker: Mikel Delgado, Cat Behavior Consultant, Feline Minds
