😺Hi, I'm sorry that I haven't been in touch with some of you.
I was taken into hospital at the end of November and have been very unwell. I will be in hospital/out of action for some time yet unfortunately, but i am expected to recover fully 🙏.😺

Why am I so passionate about helping people with their cat's behaviour issues ???

I first studied at level 3 in order to gain knowledge and become better equipped for my rescue work. After I qualified, with distinction, the college offered me a place on the level 5 course to continue my education.
I was unsure at first whether to train further, but a few days later somebody told me that they once had a cat who one day messed on their bed, so to 'punish' the cat, they dangled him out of a high rise flat's window, to 'teach him a lesson' 😭.
I was HORRIFIED and very upset. That night I made the decision to continue training, continue learning, so that I can help people understand WHY cats do what they do !
Cats do NOT 'misbehave' in order to spite their owner.
There is ALWAYS an underlying reason why they do things that we dislike!
What is unacceptable cat behaviour for us, is most often a NORMAL behaviour for a cat that is suffering some degree of stress in his life !

Yesterday we gave a rescue space to a young cat who was being given away on a rehoming group because she did not settle well into her home. She was very anxious and hid away, being extremely scared of young children in the home.
The family gave her a home because they saw her being given away free 7 1/2 weeks before and she was already traumatised then, due to domestic reasons at that time 😢
The little cat is just over a year old and very soon after her arrival we realised she is heavily pregnant too 😢.
She is safe in rescue now and her and her kittens will be taken very good care of.
But.... Things could have turned out very differently !

PLEASE, if you are considering rehoming a cat because of a behavioural issue, please ask your vet to recommend a behaviourist, or please reach out and ask for help 🙏
There really is so much help available that these cats can benefit from!
A cat that is rehomed due to a behavioural issue is highly likely to get worse, as the stress of rehoming will make him/her more anxious and the problem can escalate.
😺 Every cat deserves the best life.😺

I achieved a level 3 diploma in June 2022 with distinction and am working very hard to complete level 5.
I take my work and education very seriously, am learning more constantly and I find great satisfaction in helping clients and their cats to live happier lives.
Cats are truly amazing creatures and they are much more intelligent than we realise!

Treating aggression in cats can be a complex issue, because there can be various causes and there are various types of aggression too.
Each type of aggression has its own cause and approach to treatment.
The most common types of aggression in cats are :

Territorial aggression.
Re-directed aggression.
Fear induced aggression.
Maternal aggression.
Pain induced aggression.
Petting aggression.
Predatory aggression.
Human directed aggression.
Play aggression

The least common types of aggression are:

Unprovoked aggression
Aggression caused by a neurological condition.

It is ALWAYS a good idea to get a vet's opinion of a cat that is aggressive, especially if it is sudden and uncharacteristic, as there may be a physical cause which requires veterinary treatment.

If you have a cat that has a behaviour issue, such as toileting outside the litter box, over-grooming or there are dispu...

If you have a cat that has a behaviour issue, such as toileting outside the litter box, over-grooming or there are disputes in a multi-cat household, there is help available!
I have a keen interest in multi-cat households and environmental enrichment for indoor cats.
Please contact me for an informal discussion and to book a fully confidential consultation.

💥 It is always advised to first consult a vet with any behavioural changes, incase there is a medical cause.💥

This is my kitten 'Mary'.
Whenever I cuddle her, she does this , she kneads and suckles on a blanket or my clothes. Mary is reverting to young kitten behaviour, as a kitten feels secure when suckling from their mother.
Kneading and suckling a blanket is common in a kitten that left their mother too early. Mary's mother had to have steroid medication when her kittens were just 6 weeks old and they had to be separated from her early, on the vets advice, due to the medication she was taking would enter her milk supply.
They were still able to see her and once her milk dried up, they were able to live with their mother again and she taught them valuable social and hunting skills ! But sadly their time of closeness and security from suckling from their mother had to be ended too soon for them emotionally.
