    Cat Behaviour Consultations

    Cat Behaviour

    Is your cat anxious, fearful or showing unwanted behaviours? We'll create a plan that fits your cat and your home.

    Compassionate care for your cat's behaviour

    Cats are highly sensitive to their environment and to change. We assess your cat's behaviour alongside their physical health, developing a practical plan that addresses the underlying causes and supports lasting, positive change.

    Behavioural consults

    For all behaviour problems such as:

    • Situational fear such as in the crate or Veterinary clinic
    • Anxiety and stress
    • Phobias eg. thunder, fireworks
    • Aggression inter-cat or towards humans
    • Obsessive-compulsive disorders such as over-grooming
    • Inappropriate toileting/house soiling
    • inappropriate scratching
    • Age-related cognitive disorders (senility, dementia) and more.

    We will formulate a specific plan for your cat that involves environmental management, behavioural modification programs, training of specific behaviours and appropriate medication if indicated. We recommend 2 to 3 follow up consultations (see below) for best results.
