I can answer any questions on feline behaviour. I am a qualified feline behaviour councellor and consult privately in this field. I also work as a veterinary nurse in a small animal practice. Although I can answer questions on behaviour and general health, I am not a veterinarian and cannot answer questions relating to existing medical conditions and medications.

I can answer questions on: cat nutrition and diet, behavior, behavior problems, training, general health, socialization/taming feral cats, TVAR, trapping feral cats, feline nutrition, and cat care. My favorite questions are on the topic of nutrition and I have special experience with hyperthyroidism in cats. Please do NOT ask me if you should take your cat to the vet - if you have any reason to suspect your cat is ill or injured please call your vet immediately!

I have fostered cats/kittens with special needs/behavioral issues. I have rescued/rehabilitated/re-homed a variety of stray/abused cats. I can offer advice on feral cat colonies, help rehabilitate strays and find them forever homes. I can help you to determine whether a cat is stray or feral, there is a significant difference. New cat/kitten introductions can result in aggression between newly introduced cats because they are territorial and don't like change. There is a peaceful way to introduce a new cat into a house with one or more resident cats. Proper nutrition for cats can be confusing, I recommend checking out catinfo.org. Cat behavior and instincts are different from those of humans, I can help you understand your cat's needs so that you can meet them adequately and have a balanced, psychologically and physically sound kitty. Cats vary in personality, energy level and intelligence, different approaches may be required to achieve results in terms of training and interaction with your feline companion. An intelligent, high energy cat must be kept busy or .....

The areas in which I have gained the most experience are cat health and feral cat management/rescue. I provide supportive care to chronically ill cats, hospice care to terminally ill cats and also am involved in trap-neuter-return efforts. My specialities lie in taming feral cats and in the allopathic treatment of cats with illnesses or special needs. I also have owned Siamese, Himalayans, Abyssinians, Russian Blues, Savannahs, Bengals, Peterbalds, Don Sphynx and Oriental Shorthairs and am well-versed in cat breeds as well as cat behavior and nutrition.
