Florida Cat Behaviorist Testimonials
“It took years to find help for my cat’s urination and marking issue. He had been through every conceivable treatment (and some which had significant side effects) before working with The Cat Behavior Clinic. After years of suffering we finally found appropriate help for our kitty and all with one phone call. Thank you to The Cat Behavior Clinic. You were our last resort. You clearly know cats and are advocates for their behavioral happiness (and the owners too!)”. (read 350 more testimonials here).

World-renowned Innovators of the Cat Behaviorist Specialty
Zoom or Phone Consultations with Oxford-trained Certified Cat Behaviorist Mieshelle Nagelschneider. Mieshelle is the founder of the “Cat Behaviorist” specialty and the first cat-only behavior practice serving Florida cat owners (and the entire United States). To date, cats are very underserved when it comes to behavior help and there are still only a handful of cats exclusively behavior services in the United States. Our veterinarians conduct vet-to-vet consultations or in the state where they are licensed (they do not conduct home visits for cat owners in Florida).
The Cat Behavior Clinic goes beyond the obvious behavior strategies to change a cat’s behavior and offers complete and holistic behavior plans that apply training modalities that are based on your cat’s feline evolutionary biology. Urination, defecation, urine spray-marking and aggression are the most common issues the clinic addresses.
Florida Cat Behaviorist Testimonials
Cat Behavior Testimonial: Thanks to your cat behaviorist, we now have a urine-free cat family just like she said we would. Our home no longer smells like cat urine and the added bonus is that our cats are so much happier. The information provided is no where on the internet. The consultation program was very worth our time and investment and we feel so lucky to have worked with Mieshelle. Regards, The Taylor Cat Family, Miami, Florida
Florida Cat Behavior Review: Well, I can’t believe it took just 3 days, but it was that easy. We DID NOT have to add extra litter boxes either. Mieshelle is brilliant and saw the problems right away. It’s week 7 and not one accident outside the box. Claudine has begun playing again with her toys and she actually sits next to Augustus now. This is unheard of and I can’t thank you enough. All the best, One grateful and enlightened cat owner. Paula S. Orlando, Florida
Florida Cat Behavior Review: I considered myself a very savvy cat owner having owned multiple cats my entire life, but I have learned so much from Mieshelle, your cat behaviorist. When we rescued the feral cats from our Florida golf course, we had no idea what we were in for. The urine almost ruined our home and the cats fighting almost ended our marriage. Mieshelle became the light in the very small world of cat behavior knowledge available to cat owners. We have recommended your practice to our Florida veterinarian and we will contact you after we return from our vacation to schedule our last call. Thank you for all that you do. Mary S. – Tampa, Florida

Frequently Asked Questions
All cat behavior solutions must take into consideration feline instincts and their evolutionary biology. The clinic has exclusive rights to Mieshelle Nagelschneider’s proprietary Cat Whisperer™ consulting, 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).
Her science-based cat behavior book, The Cat Whisperer, has been featured in the New York Times and a best-seller on Amazon and published in 4 languages (Random House Publishing with co-writer Cameron Powell).
For cat behaviorists seeking certification, her book is a required curriculum by a number of cat behaviorist certifying organizations.
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
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. We often misunderstand cat behaviors. 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.
Mieshelle The Cat Whisperer™ has been the spokesperson and cat behavior expert for Comfort Zone, Arm & Hammer Cat Litter, and Cat Expert for Whiska’s International Media Tour Australia. Her cat behavior expertise is seen in the New York Times, The Today Show, NBC Dateline, MTV, Animal Planet, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, The Hallmark Channel, Modern Cat Magazine, Parade, Reader’s Digest, Cat Fancy Magazine, The New York Post, The Boston Globe, USA Today, This Wild Life, The Divine Cat, Real Simple Magazine, Salon.com, Petside, Freekibblekat, The Toronto Star, Canada Globe and Mail, Animal Rescue Site, The Daily Cat, Feline Wellness Magazine, Advisory Council Pet360.com, This Wild Life, The Cat Channel, Pets Magazine, The Circle, New Republic, The Sunrise Show, Yahoo.com, Herald Sun, Toronto Star, and countless others. See our Media Room below for the latest.
Feline behavior therapy is very different from canine behavior therapy and the approach to changing a cat’s behavior is even more unique. Cats do not display obedience problems like dogs. The help you need is not focused on physical or verbal behavior modification strategies, like dog training with a dog trainer present. All cat behaviorists conduct consultations by phone or video via Skype. Our behavior plans are specific to cats and still allow for the natural feline instincts, but when and where you want them displayed. We will cover the behavior plan during the phone or video consultation and offer follow-up over the course of several weeks for all of our consultation programs.
