I can help with your cat

 

How it works…

The initial assessment will be performed in your home or remotely online, ideally with other family members present. The aim of this consultation will be to identify the emotions which may be motivating your cat’s problem behaviour which will assist in making a behavioural diagnosis.

A behavioural modification plan will be developed which will be individual to your cat’s behavioural needs. Behavioural issues can be complex and treating them is rarely a quick fix. Carrying out the steps within the plan will require your patience and perseverance and an appreciation that some days will seem harder than others.

The speed of achieving the desired behavioural response may in part be related to the length of time your cat has been performing the unwanted behaviour and your cat’s ability to learn a new response as well as the time and commitment you can give.

If medication is recommended for your cat following the behavioural consultation, its effectiveness will be dependent upon its use alongside the behavioural modification plan.

 

Booking your cat’s assessment

To discuss booking a behavioural assessment for your cat, please get in touch, I will endeavour to respond within 2 days.

• A referral from your primary vet is essential in arranging your cat’s behavioural assessment. Your vet can do this by contacting me directly or following the link for vets.

• A behavioural questionnaire will be sent to you by email which should be completed and then returned to me prior to the assessment. It is often good to get the whole family involved in this. A pre-assessment questionnaire saves valuable time during the visit to allow a behavioural diagnosis to be made and a behavioural modification plan to be discussed and demonstrated.
