The Feline Behaviour and Psychology course provides a comprehensive and engaging introduction to understanding how cats think, communicate, and respond to their environment. This programme explores key aspects of feline psychology, behavioural patterns, social dynamics, learning processes, and emotional wellbeing. Learners will develop a clear understanding of common behavioural issues in domestic cats, the factors that influence feline actions, and effective approaches for promoting healthy, positive behaviour. By studying feline communication, instinct, sensory perception, and environmental needs, learners gain valuable knowledge that can support better cat care in home or professional settings.

Throughout the course, students learn how to recognise behavioural triggers, identify signs of stress, improve human–cat interaction, and support the wellbeing of cats in various environments. The curriculum is designed to enhance practical awareness of feline body language, cognitive processes, and the reasons behind behaviours such as aggression, anxiety, territoriality, and social bonding. These insights are particularly relevant for those interested in pet care, animal welfare, or behavioural consultancy.

This SEO-optimised training is ideal for anyone looking to improve their understanding of cat behaviour, feline psychology, and behaviour management techniques. Whether you want to enrich your personal knowledge or prepare for roles within pet care, rescue centres, veterinary support, or feline welfare organisations, this course offers valuable, flexible learning that can boost your confidence and support your future goals.
