Working With an Online Cat Behaviorist

When you work with me as your online cat behaviorist, you’re not simply paying for an hour of my time. You’re getting someone who genuinely cares about you, your cat, and what happens after our consultation ends.

Your cats matter to me, and so does your peace of mind. When we work together, I take a genuine interest in helping you find solutions that make life better for everyone. I want to understand the whole picture, not just the behavior that’s causing problems. Every cat has a story, and sometimes the smallest detail can help us understand why something is happening.

And here’s something important about the way I work: I don’t just hand you a plan and wish you luck.

What Happens During Our Consultation?

First, you talk, and I listen. There’s no lengthy questionnaire to fill out beforehand. I’d much rather hear your story directly from you, in your own words. Tell me about your cat, what’s been happening, what you’ve already tried, and what life is like in your household.

I’ll ask questions along the way, sometimes about things that might seem completely unrelated to the problem. But those little details can be surprisingly important!

Next, we figure out what’s really behind the behavior.

Rather than jumping straight into solutions, we’ll look at the whole picture together. What’s causing the behavior? What might be contributing to it? And what is your cat trying to communicate through their actions?

Then, we set your cat up for success.

Before asking a cat to change an established behavior, we need to make sure the environment and circumstances support that change. We’ll discuss what adjustments or preparations may be needed to give your cat the best opportunity to succeed.

Finally, we develop a plan for changing the behavior.

Once we understand what’s happening and have the right foundation in place, we’ll talk through the methods and exercises that can help move things in a better direction.

And don’t worry, you won’t be left wondering what to do next. We’ll go through the process together, making sure you understand not only what to do, but why we’re doing it.

What Happens After the Consultation

I’m with you every step of the way. Have a question? Email me. Something unexpected happened? Tell me about it. Want me to look at a video of your cats interacting? Send it over. Multiple times per day if you wish. I usually respond the same day, but never more than 24 hours (unless it’s Sunday, my only day off).

Sometimes progress comes quickly. Sometimes we need to make adjustments, try a different approach, or look a little deeper. I don’t cut bait and run just because something gets difficult. I am here to help you achieve success.

You Don’t Have to Navigate the Journey Alone

A consultation isn’t just about changing a behavior. It’s about helping you understand your cat, restoring peace in your home, and making life better for everyone involved. And when you have something to celebrate, believe me, I’ll be celebrating right along with you!
