Cats with problem behaviour.                  

Cat owners can have their own specific problems, which can usually be very easily rectified in a short space of time

 Home visits are available upon request and are usual for cat cases.

Each case is treated individually, evaluating the emotional and general mood state together with the motivational cause - most importantly the cause is then treated rather than the behaviour.

Cases should be referred by the owners veterinary surgeon, assuring the owner that the problem is not medically related - this can be particularly true if the behaviour has had a sudden onset.

Initial contact will be made either via the telephone or email, at which point basic details will be take and a suitable appointment time will be made.

A consultation usually last between two to three and a half hours, during which time a full assessment will be made together with in-depth history taking, from this information a behaviour modification program can be implemented. This may take into account diet, training, owner intervention but most importantly an understanding of why the behaviour has occurred  and how to address it in the future.

Contact will then be made via the telephone whereupon if required additional information will be given. For some cases such as aggression a practical follow up session may be advantageous.

• Fears and phobia's (fireworks, thunder, loud noises, people)
