A Cat's Purrspective, LLC

A Cat's Purrspective, LLC I'm a certified cat behavior consultant and end of life doula here to support cat care-givers. I look forward to helping you and your cat(s)!

"Helping you & your cat see eye-to-eye"

My name is T Hamboyan Harrison; I am a certified cat behavior consultant: CCBC (Certified Cat Behavior Consultant), ACSB-C (Associate Certified Shelter Behavior - Cat), and SBA (Shelter Behavior Affiliate) from IAABC; FFCP (Fear Free Certified Professional), and a Fear Free Shelters Graduate. I've been helping cats for over 10 years: as a cat socializer for

local rescues and shelters since 2009, and as a Case Manager for Diabetic Cats in Need since 2020. I help owners work with their cats to resolve or change behaviors that are having a negative effect on the cat's or people's lives. I'm also available for consults with shelters and rescues looking to improve the lives of cats in their care. I have experience with cats with litter box issues; cats that are shy, un-socialized or under-socialized; cats that have outside or feral history; cats with medical conditions that can affect their behavior (note: for these cats, I will need to be in contact with your veterinarian); cats that are new to a situation or environment; and more! My methods build trust and connection between cats and their owners through positive reinforcement, environmental enrichment, and problem-solving. Whenever possible, I strive to resolve the root cause of the behavior problem. I particularly enjoy: helping fearful cats learn to trust people, helping owners identify possible medical concerns with their cats to bring to their vet's attention, and helping owners and cats adjust to new medical challenges. As a disabled person, helping cats with chronic medical conditions deeply resonates with me. Being disabled has given me a unique perspective on interacting with cats, as I've learned to interact with cats on their terms, not mine.

Today is the 4th of July! Just a quick reminder that today's festivities can be stressful for some cats. Check out this graphic for tips on how to keep your feline friends safe and calm in noisy situations.

07/01/2025

Take all necessary precautions to keep your cat and dog safe during your celebrations.

Inform all guests to keep doors closed and gates securely latched.

Place signs on doors as a friendly reminder.

If your cat is comfortable staying in a separate room, set them up with everything they need and allow them to safely stay there for the day and evening.

If your dog is crate trained or comfortable being in a room alone, set up a safe area for them as well. Position their crate away from the party so they can rest and stay calm.

July 4th can be fun for us, but it can be overwhelming for pets. Having a plan now will help keep them safe and prevent them from slipping out during the festivities.

🫁 Wheezing, coughing, open mouth breathing? 🐈 These aren’t just post-zoomie quirks - they could be signs of feline asthma or chronic bronchitis. Just like humans, cats can suffer from inflamed and reactive airways, often triggered by invisible irritants like dust, pollen or perfumes.

The good news is that inhaled medications are accessible - yes, cats can use inhalers! How? With a clever device called a spacer. One end fits a standard metered-dose inhaler, the other has a mask that gently fits over your cat’s face, delivering life-saving medication in just seconds.

✨Top Tip ✨ Don’t skip the training! Watch our videos and find out more 👉 https://icatcare.org/articles/asthma-and-chronic-bronchitis-in-cats

If you are concerned about your cat’s breathing, please contact your vet. Taking a video to show them can be helpful. 🏥

Many owners complain that their cats scratch furniture and carpets. These destructive behaviors not only destroy valuable items, but may also harm a cat’s health. One common misconception is that cats are “out for revenge” when they destroy household items, but these behaviors are usually part of normal investigation and play and, fortunately, can most commonly be managed with an appropriate plan and patience.

Cats that scratch your favorite sofa or expensive drapes are not on a mission to destroy your home, but rather wish to satisfy certain needs. Scratching is largely a marking behavior that deposits scent from special glands on the cat’s paws into his territory and removes the translucent covering, or sheath, from the claws. The scratch marks and claw sheaths left behind may also be displays of confidence.

Because scratching is an innate behavior like grooming or burying waste, it can be difficult to stop. However, cats can be taught to scratch on more appropriate objects like scratching posts.

Diversity - Equity - Inclusion.

Over the last few weeks, we have seen many organizations move to roll back their DEI policies. This suggests that these policies were temporary strategies rather than embedded principles.

To read the PPG Member code of conduct https://www.petprofessionalguild.com/join-ppg/principles-conduct/

We believe diversity is a source of strength, equity is worth pursuing, inclusive practices foster humanity and progress, women's and LGBTQ+ rights are human rights, retaining control over our outcomes is fundamental, and kindness reflects true character. We reaffirm our commitment to foster inclusivity in training and behavior. In 2025, we will expand our scholarship opportunities for those who represent and/or support underserved and underrepresented communities. We will continue to evaluate and explore ways to further support this through our various platforms and brands in the weeks, months, and years ahead. More: https://bit.ly/4jKjlCD

Today is the 2nd loss anniversary of my little orange girl Cinnamon, who's featured in my logo with her best feline friend Emily. Both passed in 2023, Cinnamon on 1/23 and Emily on 6/15.

It is okay to cry. It's okay to grieve. There isn't a timeline on grief. The more you love, the more you grieve.

I found this in today's facebook memories, a quote by Paulo Coelho from "The Alchemist": "So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you."

As much as losing love hurts, I will always be so grateful I had the chance to love Cinnamon.

Who are you grateful the universe conspired to help you find?
