Owning a pet should be a loving and joyful experience.  Yet sometimes our cat's behaviour can be hard to live with - and difficult to understand.
 Cats perceive the world very differently.  They have particular physical, emotional and cognitive needs and if these needs are not met, they can behave in ways that may be quite normal in a ‘cat’s world’ but not within our homes.
Some of the most common behavioural issues include:
  • Urine spraying on walls, doors, windows, bedding and clothes
  • Toileting outside of the litter box
  • Aggression to people
  • Aggression to other cats and pets in the household
  • Destructive scratching of furniture, curtains and wallpaper
  • Eating non-food items (pica)
  • Excessive vocalising
There are many factors that influence their behaviour including their genetics and early life experiences with people as well as factors in their home environment – this is especially true in multi-cat households.
We use the latest research and proven science-based methods to identify what might be causing your cat to behave the way it does.  Then we give you advice and practical solutions that will help you change your cat's behaviour ... for the better!

"We were at the end of our tethers with our cat’s aggression and we were desperate for help. Our search led us to Jeanette and she carried out a comprehensive assessment of the interactions between humans and cat. Jeanette then provided us with an excellent briefing of what was going on, along with some very practical immediate and longer term strategies. We implemented all of these over the following days and weeks and have had no episodes of aggression since. Our key learning has been that changing human behaviour is key to changing cat behaviour. Our cat is relaxed and content - we feel safe and relaxed - and we are all living happily together.

Thanks Jeanette for your professional help - which has worked really well."
