Cat psychology differs from dog psychology because cats are "self-domesticated" solitary hunters. In this special episode featuring a lecture from Dr. Jon Bowen (Royal Veterinary College), we explain that feline behavior—like scent marking and aggression—is driven by the need to control territory, not to manipulate humans.
We cover:
- Territorial Insecurity: The root cause of most behavioral issues (spraying/fighting).
- The "Solitary" Myth: How cats can be social, but only on their own terms.
- Stress Signals: Why "zoomies" and over-grooming are actually coping mechanisms.
- The Human Factor: How our behavior accidentally triggers their survival instincts.
A masterclass in understanding the "wild" animal in your home.
