From stereotype to scientific fact, we invite you to bid farewell to our current exhibition, Karel Appel: Cats, with “Cat Tales” a double program of science and improv! Guests are invited to attend individual programs or stay for the full experience. First, join a board-certified veterinary behaviorist and Associate Professor at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine Julia Albright as we explore the truths behind cat behavior, what’s real, what’s myth, and what your cat might be thinking. Then, bring out your inner cat with Improv Knoxville! Want to act out a cartoon version? Want to include what you just learned? Let’s have fun bringing one of our favorite furry friends to life.
