Log in with (or without) a cat. We’ll learn about cats, talk cats, tell cat stories, and make friends. This group reinforces social skills like speaking aloud, actively listening, not interrupting others, and taking turns, and is designed for 3 types of kids: ✔️ the learner who is obsessed with cats and wants to meet other cat fans ✔️ the learner who is a sponge and enjoys learning new things about cat behavior ✔️ the learner who can’t get enough of cute, cuddly cats and wants to become a better cat owner or a more prepared future owner. This is an ongoing class, autodrafted each Sunday. You may unsubcribe easily from the Outschool page. You may also join at any time. Classes do not build on one another.
