February 6, 2012: Welcome to The Cat Behavior Clinic

“Love is born of mystery, and our cats are mysterious and loved in equal measure. But sometimes the greatest blessing of all is a bit of light thrown into a dark place. Mieshelle Nagelschneider holds that light. Allow her to share it with you.” - Gwen Cooper Author, Homer’s Odyssey: A Fearless Feline Tale, of Life With a Blind Wonder Cat (Random House), New York, NY

Mieshelle Nagelschneider, ACCBC, Harvard-trained cat behaviorist, behavior author, and world-renowned for her global leadership in cat behavior education and crossing the conventional boundaries of the cat behavior specialty.

Listen to Mieshelle on Martha Stewart Living Radio!

What’s Happening Today, February 6, 2012! Our cat behaviorist is back from filming for Animal Planet cat show! The month of February we will be donating a portion of clinic proceeds to Best Friends Animal Society where Mieshelle is a “Guardian Angel” for cats in need of special psychological and physical care.

Veterinarian: “Over the course of many years, Mieshelle has developed and refined her unique ability to think like a cat. On numerous occasions I have witnessed the life-changing benefits Mieshelle’s techniques can bring to cats and their sometimes very frustrated owners.” - Veterinarian, Dr. James R. Schultz DVM

Veterinarian Referral from Dr. Lisa Berger DVM: “Despite all the disruptions, there have been no incidents of urination on the bed or the couch, and neither have been covered by plastic all week!” - Juanita Heimann Portland, Oregon

“Literally our problem seems to be solved ‘overnight’ and we are very optimistic that this will stay: we even see her using the cat litter box; she buries her urine, and seems to be very comfortable. This is unbelievable, Mieshelle. We are very thankful for your precious help and knowledge.” - Best regards, Andrea & David M. Montezuma, IA

Like it or not, working with a behaviorist that has formal study in animal behavior is vital in solving any cat behavior issue.  Without a behavior plan that isn’t carefully created drawing from current research on cat behavior to appropriately address all the critical components and factors of a presenting behavior, is like trying to conduct a symphony without sight or sound. Mieshelle Nagelschneider ACCBC, has studied feline and animal behavior for 20 years and most recently at Harvard University.  She is an  Associate member and associate Certified Cat Behavior Consultant of  The International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, Professional member of the Association of Animal Behavior Professionals, “Guardian Angel” for special emotional and physical special needs cats at Best Friend’s Animal Society, and long time member of the Animal Behavior Society.

Mieshelle can solve your cat’s behavior issues with a behavior plan designed for your cat(s) that include the latest scientific research and advanced techniques that have helped thousands of cats and their owners. Litter box elimination issues, urine marking, excessive meowing, inter-cat social and aggression issues, are her specialty.  Unlike other cat behaviorists, Mieshelle has formal study in animal behavior, conducted cat behavior studies, and has authored a science-based cat behavior book with the latest strategies to help cats — as opposed to other cat behavior books filled with obsolete and incomplete advice you can easily find on the internet.  Mieshelle is also known for solving behavior issues that are deemed “unfixable”.

As the International Cat Behavior Expert for Whiskas, Mieshelle has worked with the Animal Welfare League internationally to help elevate the status of the cat and educate cat owners about cat behavior. She has been vet-referred since 1999 and has performed thousands of consultations in-person, by phone and email.

Through our science based Cat Whisperer^® feline consulting services, we have more experience in solving unwanted cat behaviors, with more cats, than anyone in North America — and probably the world. And that’s no fluff. But don’t take our word for it. The Cat Behavior Clinic has more testimonials than any other behaviorist or cat clinic since 1999. See what people just like you have said about us.

Customized behavior plans: Mieshelle’s most recent study of animal behavior was at Harvard University with a focus on animal cognition. Best of all, the Clinic has exclusive rights to Mieshelle Nagelschneider’s proprietary, easy-to-implement C.A.T. Plan™ positive behavior modification, the most effective, comprehensive, and up-to-date system for curing any cat behavior problem. Because every cat and environment is different, the plan allows for customized behavior techniques and environmental changes when needed – because cat behavior is not one-size-fits all. Mieshelle has spent 20 years developing a method so effective that when clients follow it, their success rate is well over 90% (even higher for the most common issues)!

Are your cats not getting along? The Nagelschneider Method (based on social facilitation) is just one of the many breakthrough techniques you will find only at The Clinic! Her expertise has been sought out by and featured in Cat Fancy Magazine, USA Today, Martha Stewart Radio, This Wild life, The Divine Cat, Real Simple Magazine, Salon.com’s “The Cat Whisperer” article, CatChannel.com, PawNation, and The Daily Cat. She also has her own cat behavior column in Pets Magazine.
