Information:
I am a cat specialist. As well as a COAPE diploma, I have a first class degree in applied animal behaviour and I have written several best selling books about cats. I also offer a lecture on cat behaviour for interested organisations.

Cats are not dogs, which is why I do not work with dogs. Cats are sensitive to changes in routine, new animals in the household, or new neighbouring cats. I do not offer a service to breeding colonies of un-neutered cats - only to ordinary pet cats.

I do behaviour consultations, on vet's referral only, within a 30 mile radius of Witney, and occasionally further by arrangement. A full questionnaire and a visit to your house/flat is essential before useful advice can be given.

I can help with house soiling, litter tray problems, and aggression. A stress reduction programme for cats with recurrent idiopathic cystitis can also be helpful.I cannot help with killing wildlife, which is natural behaviour.

Rabbit behaviour problems - I suggest looking at my website for help on these.
