Cat Behaviour Consultations & Support
Cats are often misunderstood when it comes to behaviour. Many behaviours that appear “problematic” are actually expressions of stress, fear, frustration, medical discomfort, or environmental needs that are not being met.
My cat behaviour consultations are designed to help you better understand your cat’s behaviour, identify contributing factors, and create practical, fear-free strategies to improve their wellbeing at home.
How I can help
I support a wide range of feline behaviour concerns, including:
Litter box avoidance or inappropriate toileting
Aggression toward people or other animals
Multi-cat household conflict
Overgrooming or compulsive behaviours
Anxiety, fear, or hiding behaviour
Night waking or disruptive behaviour
Scratching and furniture-related behaviours
Introduction of new cats into the home
Stress-related behaviour changes
Rather than focusing on punishment or suppression of behaviour, my approach focuses on understanding why the behaviour is occurring and addressing the underlying cause.
My approach to feline behaviour
All cat behaviour consultations are:
Fear-free and force-free
Based on current feline behavioural science
Focused on emotional wellbeing and environmental needs
Individualised to your cat and household
Designed to reduce stress, not increase it
Cats are highly sensitive to their environment, and even small changes in routine, resources, or social dynamics can have a significant impact on behaviour.
For this reason, effective behaviour support often involves adjustments to:
Environment and layout of the home
Resource distribution (litter trays, food, water, resting spaces)
Human interaction and handling
Social dynamics between animals in the household
Predictability and routine
Initial Cat Behaviour Consultation
This comprehensive in-home consultation is designed to understand your cat’s behaviour in detail and identify contributing factors.
During the consultation, we will cover:
Detailed behaviour history
Home environment assessment
Resource and territory evaluation
Observation of body language and stress signals
Identification of potential triggers
Immediate management strategies
Practical recommendations for change
Following your consultation, you will receive a personalised Behaviour Support Plan outlining clear, practical steps to support your cat’s wellbeing.
Ongoing Behaviour Support
Behaviour change takes time, especially for cats, as they are highly sensitive to environmental and emotional shifts.
Follow-up sessions are designed to:
Review progress and adjust strategies
Support implementation of the Behaviour Support Plan
Troubleshoot ongoing or new challenges
Provide guidance on environmental changes
Support multi-cat household dynamics
Help maintain long-term improvements
Multi-cat household support
Many behaviour concerns in cats are related to social tension between cats in the same household.
I can help you:
Understand subtle signs of stress or conflict
Improve space sharing and resource management
Reduce tension and competition
Create safer, more predictable interactions
Support gradual and safe introductions where needed
Even cats who appear to “tolerate” each other may be experiencing underlying stress, which can contribute to behavioural issues over time.
When to seek help
Early intervention is always best with feline behaviour concerns. Cats often adapt their behaviour quietly over time, which can make problems harder to identify until they become more established.
If you are noticing changes in your cat’s toileting, behaviour, social interactions, or stress levels, seeking support early can make a significant difference to outcomes.
My commitment to cat welfare
My goal is to improve your cat’s emotional wellbeing while helping you create a home environment that supports calm, predictable, and stress-free behaviour.
All recommendations are practical, fear free, and tailored to your individual cat and household dynamics.
