So interesting! Cats really have become an important part of so many of our families. I freely admit to regularly feeling 'cuteness aggression' toward our Mac's chubber cheeks.🥰⭐

Psychological research helps us understand why we infantilize our cats.

Does your beloved cat-baby lack boundaries?🙀 Have you accidentally reinforced negative behaviours like yowling, biting, and scratching?😾 Do you love your kitty and want to understand how these things happen, and learn how to fix current issues and prevent future ones? Please feel free to email me to discuss consultation options. I CAN help!😻

Is this the way you and your beloved kitty "bond"? No toxic relationship is worth staying for. If you have a kitten who is tearing your mittens to shreds, I promise there are easy ways to end this damaging (to BOTH of you!) non-bonding experience. To start, remember: FINGERS ARE NOT TOYS!

Does your adult cat keep sending your family members to the hospital for IV antibiotics and you're willing to put the effort into undoing the dysfunction? Please feel free to email me and we can discuss solutions.😻

This issue came up recently; how do you know if your domestic cat is a purebred or cross?

This is a great article:

The majority of our house-panthers are genetically not far removed from their ancestors. This is why breeding your cats without pedigree because they may look to you as having a 'breed' in their ancestry is unfair to potential adopters. Seal point does not equal Siamese, dilute black colour (grey) does not equal Russian Blue, etc.

Furthermore, this genetic makeup means cats oftentimes react to their environment similarly to how a wild animal might react; they are NOT dogs. They are easily startled, like their space, prefer to hide or find higher ground, avoid conflicts, find change stressful, are overstimulated by quick movements, etc.

If your feline companion is confounding you or you are looking for ways to improve a reasonable bond, please feel free to email me for consultation information! When we know better, we do better.😻

Is your adult cat currently wreaking havoc in your home? Not getting along with other pets or people? Destroying the peace in your otherwise stress-free environment?

Please feel free to email me to set up an initial consultation and begin to help your kitty reach their full potential as a loving friend to you and yours. Oh, and go ahead and tell your friends too.❤
