Frequently Asked Cat Consulting Questions
Q: Why should I want to get expert
cat consulting advice
by phone, in the comfort and convenience of my home, without having to drive somewhere or spend hours cleaning up the house in anticipation of a visitor?
A: Well, you sort of answered that one yourself.
Now just add: this is the last consultation you
will need. What is your time worth? Why
continue the Internet searches, hitting up friends
for advice, trying to cadge free tips from vets who are
not experts in cat behavior? Cat behavior experts
are rare, but they are, at last, here. Get the best
advice available, with a
professional cat behaviorist.
Q: Can you really solve my cat's problem over the phone?
A: Yes, we can, and we do, all the time. Why? One reason: it's cat
owners who have the greatest power to modify their cats' environment, including by modifying the owners' own behavior. We
truly don't need to see your cat to discover what you could be doing differently.
That's especially true at the Cat Behavior Clinic, which has
developed an easy, step-by-step
C.A.T. Plan™
system for solving any cat behavior issue. Even in the rare cases where your cat has an issue that was not caused by the environment humans created for it, we don't need to be able to see your cat's behavior, so long as you are able to report it (you will be sent a thorough questionnaire prior to your consult). In fact, even if we were to visit your house, your cat probably wouldn't engage in its undesirable behaviors while we were there. So even if we stood in your living room, clipboard in hand, we'd still need to ask you dozens of questions designed to get at the cause of your cat's undesirable behavior (and sometimes, of yours). These are exactly the questions we ask
via questionnaire and over the phone. We also work with you
after your consult to answer any questions or make any necessary changes to the behavior program. This follow-up can sometimes prove to be just as crucial as the initial consult itself.
The consulting testimonials you see on the
Clinic website
followed phone consultations.
Our instructions are also delivered by phone and/or email (whichever you prefer). They're easy to follow, and we encourage you to take notes. We also invite you to send us your notes by email so that we can make sure you took down the important points.

Q: How does the process work?
A: See
How It Works.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: See Pricing.
And worth every penny in peace of mind, amity among
household humans, and reduced expenses from destructive cat
behavior.
Q: Do you answer questions by email?
A: For our paying clients, yes, and we encourage you to send us emails during the follow-up period included in your consult package. But we're not able to answer questions by email from cat owners who have not scheduled a consultation.
Given the number of daily visitors to our website, we would
not have time to serve our consulting clients.
Q: Who are the behaviorists, and what
training do they have?
The Chief Cat Behaviorist is Mieshelle
Nagelschneider. You can read more about her world-leading
expertise on our Cat Whisperers page. Our Expert
Cat Behaviorists are
veterans as well, with decades of experience. Most
importantly, they have been trained and supervised by Mieshelle
in Mieshelle's proprietary, highly effective
C.A.T. Plan™! They
are all equally effective.
Q: Do you have references?
A: We have many references, from clients, shelters, adoption teams, vets, and vets who are clients. You can read our Rave Reviews.
Q: I have a different question.
A: Free to call us at 1-541-728-MEOW (6369).
