Cat Behaviorist Mieshelle Nagelschneider – Solving All Cat Behavior Issues
One of three cat behaviorists listed in Wikipedia and for good reason. Mieshelle Nagelscheider has over 200 client testimonials, and has been helping cat owners have problem-free cats since 1999. We have clients all across the Unites States like New York, Florida, Illinois, California, Washington (just to name a few). Like it or not, working with a cat behaviorist that is not only certified, but has formal education and experiential work in problem cat behavior, is vital in solving any feline behavior issue. The Cat Behavior Clinic has all of these.
Without a behavior plan that’s 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. Behavior plans that completely eliminate a cat behavior issue are not one-size-fits-all. After your consultation should any changes or additions need applied to your cat’s behavior plan, we are here for additional correspondence. Cats are not all the same and can respond differently to various techniques and a behavior plan should respond and reflect your cat’s uniqueness.

What Our Colleagues Say About Our Cat Behavior Expert:
“The reason people are so mesmerized by house cats is because they are truly miniature versions of lions, tigers, and leopards. Mieshelle explains in an unprecedented and a most accessible way, the behavior of the house cat, with her unique insight into the often misunderstood companion animal that is as wild as we have become civilized.” Jordan Carlton Schaul, PhD — Contributing Editor, National Geographic Society, Zoological Curator (Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and Orange County Zoo), Affiliate Professor (University of Alaska) and Proprietor of Animal Trainer Dude™, Los Angeles, California
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
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. Shultz DVM, Portland, Oregon
Cat Behavior 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 H. 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. Chicago, Illinois
You have the African wildcat, your domestic cat’s ancestor, to thank for many of your cat’s “unwanted” cat behaviors. Learn more about this during your consultation to better understand and help your cat and solve its behavior issues. Oftentimes, cat behaviors are severely misunderstood. Once cat owners understand their cat instincts and biology, they can better understand why the behavior strategies work so well and can better apply them.
Does a Cat Behaviorist Need to Come to My Home?
Definitely not. Feline behavior is very different from canine behavior. Cats do not display obedience problems like dogs. Therefore, the kind of help you need is not focused on physical or verbal behavior modification strategies like you’d directly apply to a dog with a dog trainer present. All cat behaviorists generally conduct consultations by phone or video Skype. Our behavior plans are specific to cats and still allow for the natural feline instincts, but when and where you want them displayed. The behavior plan is covered during the phone or video Skype Consultation and follow-up is offered over the course of several weeks for all of our consultations programs.
