The Behavior Consultation

Every engagement starts with a consultation — a focused, unhurried session where I work through what's going on with your cat, what's driving it, and what to do about it.

Before your appointment, you'll complete a detailed behavior history. This lets us skip the basics and spend the consultation actually solving the problem. I'll observe your cat in their environment, ask questions, and build a picture of what's really happening.

You'll leave with a written Behavior Modification Plan — a clear, personalized roadmap for what to do next.
