🐾 Happy National Cat Day! 🐾

Today, we’re celebrating the cats who fill our homes, hearts, and clinics with curiosity, comfort, and a little bit of chaos (the best kind).

Whether they’re curling up on the couch or purring through a nail trim, our feline friends remind us just how special the human–animal bond can be. At the heart of every positive interaction—at home or in the veterinary setting—is compassionate, cooperative care that helps cats feel safe, respected, and understood.

Here’s to all the cats who make our lives richer, our work more meaningful, and our laps just a little warmer. 💛

(Video: A very good kitty enjoying some Churu while calmly getting a nail trim—proof that care can be kind!)

📸 Show us the cats who make your world brighter! Drop your favorite photos or videos in the comments.

🌟 That’s a wrap on the 2025 Clinical Animal Behavior Conference! 🌟

What an incredible weekend of learning, connection, and inspiration. Over the past three days, we’ve explored how applied behavior analysis continues to shape our understanding of animals — and ourselves.

From Dr. Mindy Waite’s insights on evidence-based practice, to Kiki Yablon’s deep dive into antecedents and shaping, to Dr. Leanne Lilly’s thoughtful approach to feline behavior, and the compassionate, practical strategies shared by Monique Feyrecilde and Jessica Benoit — every session reminded us what’s possible when science and empathy work hand in hand. 💡🐾

✨ A very special thank you to two of our most inspiring attendees at the 2025 Clinical Animal Behavior Conference!

With the help of his incredible handler, Ryan Callahan, Henry, a 10-month-old Labrador Retriever, is training to become a seeing-eye dog! Throughout the weekend, Henry and Ryan worked hard on developing the skills that will one day allow Henry to provide essential support to someone who depends on him to navigate the world.

We are so grateful to Ryan and Henry for their dedication, compassion, and the heartwarming example they set for all of us—you truly made this year’s conference extra special! 💛🐾

***See comments for more photos of Henry!***
