Course programme
- This module forms the basis for the remainder of the modules within this qualification.
- This module looks at all aspects of feline anatomy and physiology. The module starts by looking at anatomy and physiology at a cellular level and will also encompass the workings of full body systems. The module will cover the following aspects of anatomy and physiology: 1/ The external parameters and points of the feline body 2/ Cells, tissues, organs and body systems 3/ The locomotory system and the role the skeleton and muscles play 4/ The circulatory system and the role the heart, blood and the lymphatic system plays 5/ The urinary system and the role of the bladder and kidneys 6/ The endocrine system and the role hormones play in the body
- Building on from module 2, module 3 looks at how the nervous system works and how messages are transmitted internally and externally. It examines how the motor and sensory systems work together in maintaining bodily functions.
- Nutrition forms the key basis to enable a feline to be healthy. The module will look at the key food groups and the role they play in maintaining health. This module will also look at how physiological changes can affect the nutritional requirements of the feline.
- The feline is know as an induced ovulator, meaning it needs to mate to ovulate. During the breeding system, which for the feline species occurs during milder weather, the female feline is known to mate with a number of males. This enables the feline gene pool to be wider as to enable the survival of the species.
- The study of feline behaviour is a growth area. The feline is known to be quite elusive and whilst outside our homes a lot is still not understood about their behaviours. The feline is known to be a solitary and an independent species but recent research has shown that this may not be the case as the feline increasingly adapts to the environments they live in with their owners.
- The science of genetics is key to understanding how traits are inherited between different generations. Selective breeding is important in increasing numbers where populations may be low, however it is also used by breeders. The breeders will breed desired traits into these breeds for the purpose of appearance, behaviour and the also the reduction of disease.
- The health of any species is important. Within this unit preventative measures that can be taken to stop diseases is reviewed. The main preventative measures that are taken to help maintain health includes neutering, vaccination, treatments of parasites, good breeding and the correct diet. Common infectious diseases, their causes and transmission are also discussed. Other diseases where even the best care of the cat will not prevent, will also be discussed. These diseases can include cancers and those linked to inheritance.
- The welfare of the feline is addressed through good husbandry to ensure its needs are met. The feline can live individually or in small numbers usually in our homes. Whilst others may live in larger numbers within people’s homes which is not always ideal due to the stress it can cause and the higher risk of disease that can occur within this species group. Other felines may live on farms and are often regarded as semi feral, whilst others may live in large feral colonies, whilst others may be homed in rescues centres, commercial catteries or breeding establishments either short or long term. Good husbandry is essential in considering the felines living conditions, to ensure they are free from pain, distress and disease.
- Within this final unit animal legislation will be looked at specifically those that affect the feline. The history of animal legislation will be looked at on a global scale. Rules may also vary dependent on the organisation and how cats are used within our society.
