Cats Protection hosts fifth annual cat behaviour event
This year's theme is Cat Connections, exploring the link between behaviour and welfare.
The Cat Behaviour Conference will explore the link between behaviour and welfare.

Cats Protection will be hosting its fifth annual Cat Behaviour Conference, as it seeks to reveal new insights on cats and their habits.

The theme of this year’s online event, which takes place on Friday, 13 September, will be ‘Cat Connections’, with expert speakers making connections between cats’ behaviour and their welfare.

The session will explore a range of feline behaviour topics, such as managing stress in cats and the challenges that are faced by cats in rescue centres. There will be discussion into the links between medical issues and behaviour issues, and the best practices for improving human behaviour in relation to cat care.

Talks will also detail the importance of advocacy in promoting ethical feline behaviour practices.

The conference will also feature panel discussions and Q&A sessions, inviting attendees to speak with presenters directly about their talks.

The event is open to anyone that wishes to learn more about cat behaviour and welfare, whether it is on a personal or professional level. This includes veterinary staff and students, animal shelter workers and cat enthusiasts.

It also counts as seven hours of CPD, with CPD certificates available at the end of the conference.

This year’s event will be running from 9.00am to 5.30pm on Friday, 13 September. Content will remain online for up to six months, so that attendees can revisit their favourite talks and catch up with what they’ve missed.

The work of Cats Protection, including their behaviour team, is supported by the People’s Postcode Lottery. Since 2018, over £9.9 million has been raised for the charity.

Daniel Warren-Cummings, central behaviour officer at Cats Protection, said: “Cats are notoriously mysterious and we’re constantly learning more about their behaviour.

“At Cats Protection, we’re dedicated to helping people see the world through cats’ eyes and this conference is a great way for us to do just that.”

The conference will be hosted by The Webinar Vet, with tickets purchasable for £50 plus VAT on The Webinar Vet’s website.
