Cat Behaviorist Mieshelle Nagelschneider
Vet-Referred Feline Behavior Consultant and Associate Consultant of the IAABC
Mieshelle is one of the world’s most renowned
and sought-after cat behaviorists. She is referred by
veterinarians, cat shelters, and even wild-cat sanctuaries
from England to North America to Australasia. When Hammacher
Schlemmer needed a cat expert to test and review over a
half-dozen advanced litter-box technologies, they came to Mieshelle.
Publishers from around the world will soon be bringing out her book,
The Cat Whisperer: Why
Cats Do What They Do -- And How to Get Them to Do What You
Want
Mieshelle has studied cat behavior for decades, and she continually keeps
abreast of observational and controlled studies on cats, most
recently at Harvard University, where she focused on recent
science in feline cognition. Mieshelle has arguably logged more
hours helping cat owners solve behavior issues than any other
animal behaviorist or veterinarian in the world.
She has
worked with thousands of cat owners and vets, and among the
clients who follow her advice, including her proprietary C.A.T.
Plan™, her success rate is close to 100%.

success stories and see why the Clinic is your best chance
of stopping all behavior problems now. You can also read

observer of animals, nearly 40 years ago, in her Life Among the Animals.

"Mieshelle has more experience in solving unwanted cat
behaviors, with more cats, than anyone else in the U.S.,
and probably the world. And she was good when she
started." -- Cameron Powell, President, The Cat Behavior
Clinic |
Mieshelle's expertise has been sought out by and featured in Cat Fancy Magazine,
This Wild Life, The Divine Cat, Real Simple Magazine, Salon.com, and The Daily Cat.
She also has her own cat behavior column in
Pets Magazine. See our
Media Room for the latest.
Mieshelle
is a popular resource for many cat-only veterinary practices
nationwide, over 40 wild cat sanctuaries, and countless animal
shelters needing expert advice on feline behavior. Mieshelle has
worked professionally with domestic, wild, and feral cats. She
was one of the referred Feline Behavior Consultants for Animal
Aid and The Cat Adoption Team of Oregon, a 350-cat no-kill
shelter, and has long been a featured behavioral resource on The
Oregon Humane Society's website.
Mieshelle
worked side-by-side with veterinarians for many years, and has
spent 20 years working professionally with cats of all kinds --
from domestic cats to large exotics of the tiger family.
Mieshelle started her career as a veterinary technician and
psychology major. "I have been caring for animals since I
began to walk,” she says, “dogs, cats, horses, birds -- and have
cared for them professionally since 1989, when I began to study
for my Veterinary Certification Exam. Before long,
I realized cat owners are under-served and I began to focus my
work exclusively on cat care -- which sometimes means care of
their owners too."
She is an
Associate with The International Association of Animal Behavior
Consultants and a member of the Animal Behavior Society. She has
been asked to be an expert witness on cat behavior in court
cases involving damages caused by felines.
Mieshelle
lives in Seattle with her husband and son and nine other animals,
including six Persian cats (Jasper Moo Foo, Rhapsody in Blue,
Clawde, Barthelme, Lady Josephine, and Farsi Noir), the cats’
bird friend Pidgeoto, their dog-toy Piccolo (a Teacup
Chihuahua), and the cats’ personal horse and beast of burden, a
soulful Great Dane named Jazzy.
Oh,
and Nagelschneider is her real name -- it's German for "nail
clipper," and we're not making that up. She's also
known for her uncanny ability to trim cats' nails without
needing to restrain them.
Be notified when Mieshelle’s breakthrough book on her
C.A.T. Plan system for solving
and even preventing all feline behavior
problems, The Cat Whisperer: Why Cats Do What They
Do -- and How to Make Them Do What You Want, comes to on a bookstore
near you!
