Understanding your Cat
The most fundamental thing we teach all our clients is to understand your cat. You MUST see your world from the cats point of view. Once you can genuinely start to do this your relationship with your cat will be immeasurably improved. This is especially important in cases of problem feline behavior!!
The problem is society is fundamentally dog biased in its behavioural knowledge and the cat could not be more different. This is why the first chapter in our book is devoted to a brief précis of cat behavior principals. We hope to expand this in our blog over the next few months.
In our experience most of the problems we see are a direct result of a breakdown in the owner / cat relationship, not a problem with the cat. However there are notable exceptions!!
Thus we try to change the animals environment and the way the owner interacts with the cat rather than trying to force our will on the cat or apportioning blame for misdemeanour’s.
Remember though that prevention is much better than a cure and so as early as you can try to learn the basics of feline behavior, so from the very start you can react to your cat in the correct way.
Our aim is to set up a great relationship which will lead to many happy and fulfilling years of feline companionship and enrich our own and our cats lives
