Kittengarten: Take your cat to class!

[meow2u3]

WASHINGTON, DC - For the kittens dashing and tumbling around the room, the Washington Humane Society's first Kittengarten class is all about the playtime.

But for the humans and the shelter there's a bigger goal: making sure that cats are healthy and happy in their adoptive homes — and that they stay there.

Kittengarten is just like what it sounds, a class for kittens and their owners. Along with kitten socialization and grooming, the four-week class covers basic health and behavior facts, including nutrition. While dog owners have long taken their charges for training, cat owners don't always know that they and their pets could use some guidance too, organizers say.

1. When I saw your subject line, I thought: "Recipe for death and destruction!"

But it seems like a great idea for kittens and the humans they own! :thumbsup:

2. My kitties have me very well trained.

I am their humble, willing servant. :)

3. Yeah I think that class probably teaches

the humans how to serve their masters more efficiently....:)
(I call one of my cats the velvet paw for her way of gently enforcing her will on me..:rofl:)
