A 30-minute presentation from the perspective of the evolutionary and adaptive forces that drive cat behavior and help shape their lives including the cycle of predation, the scale of confidence, the mother-kitten relationship between humans and cats and finally how food affects cats and our relationships with them.  A 30-minute Q&A session will follow. 

Stephen Quandt is a professional cat behaviorist with more than 20 years of experience working with cats and their humans in private consultations, shelters and in the field. He is a Feline Training and Behavior Specialist certified through the Animal Behavior Institute (ABI.) A background of nationwide rescue work with the ASPCA greatly enriched his empathy with communities of cat lovers in need of help. His current work with the Animal Care Centers of NYC advances that compassionate connection.

This presentation is jointly hosted by Moultonborough Public Library, the Converse Free Converse of Lyme, and Newmarket Public Library. 

Moultonborough's participation is made possible by funding from the Friends of the Moultonborough Public Library.
