This webinar will consider the topic of feline stress and investigate the ways in which living in a domestic environment can be a challenge for our feline companions. By considering the environmental needs of cats it will look at ways in which cat owners can optimise their home environment from a feline perspective. In addition, the webinar will consider the potential for nutritional support to play in a role if cats are facing unavoidable challenges.
