A Four-Part Foundation for
Better Cat Parenthood

Bringing a cat home comes with a lot of quiet questions. Most cat owners are doing their best with fragmented advice from different sources. Over time, this can lead to uncertainty, second-guessing, and preventable issues that only surface much later.

 

This four-part series covers essential areas of cat care, including daily care, basic grooming, nutrition, and behaviour. Together, they form a balanced foundation that supports both your cat’s wellbeing and your confidence as a cat parent.

Learn, Connect, and Build Confidence Together

There is no pressure to “get it right” or to come in with prior knowledge. These classes are designed to be welcoming, practical, and supportive!

Learn at your own pace, ask questions openly, and connect with other cat owners who care deeply about doing right by their cats. 

 

Whether you are new to cat ownership or simply want to feel more assured in your daily care, this series offers a steady foundation you can build on over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this series for?

The Cat Care Foundations Series is designed for new and first-time cat owners, as well as existing owners who want to feel more confident about their daily care decisions. No prior knowledge is required.

Do I need to attend all four classes?

No. Each class can be taken on its own, depending on what you’d like to focus on. That said, attending all four together provides a well-rounded foundation covering care, grooming, nutrition, and behaviour.

I’ve owned cats before. Will this still be useful?

Yes. Many cat owners join because they want clearer understanding or a chance to revisit fundamentals. The series focuses on why cats respond the way they do, not just what to do.

Will my cat be involved in the classes?

A cat is only required to attend the Basic Cat Grooming class. For other modules, cats do not need to attend the classes. Learning is done through guided explanation, observation, and examples, so you can focus fully on understanding without worrying about your cat’s comfort.

Is the advice very strict or prescriptive?

No. We recognise that every cat and household is different. The classes focus on principles, understanding, and decision-making, rather than rigid rules or “perfect” care standards.

What will I walk away with?

You’ll leave with clearer understanding, greater confidence, and a stronger foundation for caring for your cat over the long term. Many owners find they worry less and feel more assured in their daily care decisions.

If I still have questions after the class, what happens?

Learning doesn’t stop at the class. You’re welcome to continue asking questions and exploring further learning opportunities through Neko Academy as your cat’s needs change.
