Common Cat Behavior Problems I Can Help Solve
Living with tension, spraying, or aggression can feel overwhelming, but change is possible. These are just some of the most common cat behavior issues I can help you fix. Since every cat household is different, your plan should be different too, one that is created just for you and your cat. One size fits all simply does not exist when it comes to cats and their behaviors.
- Litter box problems
- Peeing outside the litter box
- Spraying and marking
- Cats fighting each other
- Cats that used to get along but don’t anymore
- Multi-cat household conflict
- Aggression toward people
- Introducing a new cat
- Fear, stress, and anxiety
- Destructive scratching
- Excessive meowing and nighttime yowling
- Behavior changes after a move or major life change
My Approach to Cat Behavior Is Different
Cat behavior problems rarely have just one cause. As your cat behaviorist, I look beyond the behavior itself to understand the entire environment, including routines, relationships between cats, stress triggers, and recent household changes.
That’s why I don’t rely on generic advice or quick fixes. Every recommendation is shaped around the individual cat and household.
With more than 30 years of hands-on experience and the real-world perspective that comes from sharing my home with 15 rescue cats, I bring professional training and practical understanding to every consultation.

After working with another cat behaviorist who was not responsive during what has a complete ordeal between my littermate girls, Rita is a breath of fresh air! Bouts of redirected aggression for a year and a half is not for the faint hearted and I have the gray hair to show for it! Rita is intelligent, more than qualified and continues her education on all cat related matters. Friendly, personable and made me feel like I have a true professional who can help us to navigate this situation. Very responsive, adaptable and knows how to tweak things that maybe aren't working for your particular situation. Anyone who is going through cat issues knows your home and life can be turned upside down but your love for them makes you persevere. Having someone in your corner that understands the stress that can come along with these situations is absolutely everything. Please, if you are having any issues or if you're planning on getting another cat, going on vacation or moving etc and you're not sure how to navigate, don't hesitate to contact Rita. Sometimes we all need a hand and Rita is the best hand to reach for.Posted on Trustindex

A light at the end of a dark tunnel! Rita has been extremely helpful during our resident cat and kitten introduction. Not only has she provided such great insights to cat behaviors and their meanings, but has somewhat been a therapist to us as well. It’s challenging going through an introduction that got off to a rocky start, and sometimes you just need someone to help you as the owner as well as the cats. Rita provided such great insights to videos and pictures as well as products to help the cats acclimate. I recommend her to everyone!!Posted on Google

raylynn victoria31 days agoWe worked with Rita in May to help our two bonded cats who were experiencing redirected aggression. Rita was very knowledgeable and patient and made herself available via email throughout the whole ordeal. I frequently sent Rita videos and updates and she was always quick to respond with her analysis and advice on how to move forward. With Rita's guidance and product recommendations, we have been able to reduce our cats' anxiety and we haven't had any redirected aggression since the end of May. We are so grateful for Rita's help in restoring the harmony in our home.Posted on Google

Iris Goldman134 days agoRita is extremely knowledgeable. She has helped me on many occasions with many different cat problems over decades of years. Most recently with my new rescue who bites me hard when he goes after my legs. I Googled before contacting her, and unfortunately what I read and did was not enough. Now I have a different path to take and advice on something to give my furbaby to play/chew on. I didn’t even know it existed! Before giving up on your cat, or getting angry enough to punish your cat (which you should never do), contact her. You won’t regret it.Posted on Google
Caitlin Prue380 days agoMy babies were a bonded pair for 8 years who would snuggle, play, and groom one another before ONE vet visit caused non recognition aggression between them. I work in vet med and have tons of experience with cats, but I could not get my babies over this hill without Rita. I was devastated, I thought I would have to re-home one of my babies for their own safety. I worked with cats vet for months trying to get them back to normal at home, nothing their vet recommended seemed to work. Once I met with Rita and implemented her advice, I started noticing positive changes right away. It still took some time, but now they are back to a bonded pair, loving on each other and playing. We absolutely could not have done this without Rita. Without her, I know for sure one of my babies would’ve had to go to another home. Rita saved my family! I am eternally grateful for The Cat Behavior Alliance. Truly cannot express my gratitude enough. ❤️Posted on Google
Mary Bradford521 days agoI can’t even put into words how much the team with Cat Behavior Alliance has helped with getting my 2 fur babies together. I had a session with another behaviorist recommended by my vet. The behaviorist was a caring and supportive person, but the only recommendation I received was a prescription similar to Prozac. I’m not opposed to that type of medication, if needed, but I wanted a 2nd opinion. I did my own research and found Cat Behavior Alliance. I followed their recommendations and experience with bringing my male and female back together. They both currently are resting on my bed while I type this review. I never imagined that I would be experiencing this togetherness in a million years, but here we are due to everyone’s dedication and experience with the Cat Behavior Alliance. I wish calming sprays, calming treats, and encouraging words and interactions would translate to the human population. 🤣 A thank you does not seem sufficient enough. You gave me back the greatest gift: my 2 fur babies. I sincerely thank everyone from the bottom of my heart. ❤️Posted on Google

Sharon Graham-Ellis1762 days agoI have had a ton of cat drama because I improperly introduced new cats into my home.
