What do we do in a private ‘Cat Behaviour Consultation?’2024-10-10T05:25:14+11:00

In these private consultations, we first start off by taking a history of your cat to obtain information that will help us to determine the cause of your cat’s behaviour and how to then help your cat. We will ask lots of questions!

We then discuss a treatment plan and give you strategies to implement when we leave.

It is important that you are able to dedicate the time and effort to implement these strategies consistently at home so that you can see improvements in the behaviour of your cat.

Changing your cat’s behaviour requires you to change your behaviour first so it is important that you are committed, willing and able to implement these strategies.

What do I need to know before I book my cat in?2024-10-29T10:59:39+11:00
  • Before you book, it is important that you have realistic expectations about what we provide. We do NOT have a magic wand to fix your cat. Our consultations are about helping you to understand why the behaviour is happening and then how to help your cat. How we propose that might be different to your expectations and that is ok. As long as you keep your mind open to learning new information, that is all we ask of you.
  • It is important that you are able to dedicate the time and effort to implement you plan so that you can see improvements in the behaviour of your cat. We are not responsible for the outcome as we do not live with your cat and we are not implementing the training on a daily basis with your cat. It is our responsibility to provide you with the most up-to-date, scientific based, positive reinforcement information in regards to training and behaviour. It is your responsibility to implement it when we leave.
  • We also discuss your expectations as many times, pet parent expectations of their cat and their behaviour are unrealistic. Expectations are disappointments waiting to happen so shifting your expectations can go a long way in improving your bond with your cat. Your expectations of what we can provide also need to be address as many people come to us expecting we will magically fix their cat. This is not the case just like when you go to a psychologist who cannot magically fix your behaviour.
  • Changing your cat’s behaviour requires you to change your behaviour first so it is important that you are committed, willing and able to put into practice what you have learnt in our private sessions/consultations.
  • As much as we would like to have a magic wand and solve all your cat’s behaviour issues immediately, behaviour change involves time and involves many factors.
  • Many times, we also educate the pet parent as a lack of knowledge and understanding of the feline species can impact the relationship you have with your cat.
  • Depending on your cat’s training and behavioural challenges, you will need to understand that you may need several sessions before you gain the knowledge and understanding as well as the skills to help your cat.
