Cheltenham Science Festival looks at the secret lives of animals

Academics from the University of Bristol are set to debate cats and dogs at the Cheltenham Science Festival.

Animal behaviour and welfare experts from Bristol's School of Veterinary Science will take a glimpse into the hidden world of cats with executive producer Helen Thomas from BBC Cat Watch 2014.

Dog behaviourist Dr Emily Blackwell, vet and presenter Mark Evans, and Secret LIves of Dogs producer Kirsty Wilson will explain what dog's actions tell us about what they are thinking.

The Cheltenham Science Festival runs from 2 to 7 June and offers a wide programme of debate and discovery about science.

'The wild cat in your home' debate will take place on Sunday, June 7 at 10 am in the BBC Science Zone. Tickets are free and seats will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis.

'Dogs: their secret lives' will take place on Sunday, June 7 at 2pm in the EDF Energy Arena. Tickets are priced at £9.00.

For more information, visit the Festival website or contact the box office on  0844 880 8094.
