You want to know everything about cats? You’ve come to the right place! For dogs there is already the certificate of competence or the dog-handling license. The aim is to prepare dog owners for a life with dogs and to impart basic knowledge about dogs. Now finally cat lovers can also make a cat certificate of competence. How this works and what you learn in the process, is written here.

Cat knowledge certificate – what are you learning?

Many cat owners ask themselves: What does the cat do and above all what does this graceful creature communicate all day long? How do cats tick, how should one feed them properly, how can one furnish their home in a cat-friendly way, how can one keep cats busy properly and how can one enable them to live a stress-free, species-appropriate life?  You have probably asked yourself one or the other question, haven’t you?

Many cat owners want to understand their velvet paws better and make them happy. You learn to understand and deepen the human & cat relationship.

The aCATemy – the cat school for humans offers cat owners the online course “1st cat certificate”, which is an expert course that provides the basic knowledge about anatomy, physiology, behaviour and nutrition of cats, as well as about the right occupation and a good housing management, thus promoting the necessary knowledge and skills for a welfare compliant husbandry according to the Austrian Animal Welfare Act.
