Back by popular demand! This is a repeat of the sold-out events held at the Alberta Rose Theatre on Tuesday, March 14, and at the Kiggins Theatre on April 12.
Have you ever wondered what goes inside your cat’s furry little brain? Let Dr. Rolan Tripp, a veterinarian and animal behaviorist, take you on a guided tour through the feline mind, from genetics to geriatrics. Learn answers to questions like:
- Why do cats hiss?
- Why bring me a dead mouse?
- Why head-butt people as affection?
- Why ask for stroking then attack a person for doing it?
- Why not just use the perfectly good litter box you provide for them?
Come to this entertaining lecture to get an entirely new perspective on the semi-wild animal in your life.
