About this listen

 Most behavioral issues (like scratching or aggression) stem from unmet psychological needs. In this episode, we adapt Maslow's Hierarchy for felines, identifying the missing layers in your cat's life—specifically Self-Esteem (Territorial Control) and Self-Actualization (The Predatory Sequence).

We cover:
  • The 5 Pillars: The veterinary standard for a healthy feline environment.
  • Safety vs. Security: Why a "safe" home can still feel insecure to a cat without high vantage points.
  • Whisker Fatigue: How the wrong food bowl causes low-level chronic stress.
  • The Hunt: Why "play" isn't optional; it's a biological requirement.
Stop focusing on "discipline" and start focusing on "fulfillment."
