You love your cat, but they have issues. With an abundance of incorrect and even counterproductive advice on the internet, it’s hard to know who to trust. You feel like you’ve tried everything, and nothing is working. Maybe things are even getting worse. It’s time to involve a certified professional. Whether your cat is attacking you, or just chewing on your houseplants – a cat behavior consultant can help.

If your cat’s quality of life is a concern, it’s time to hire a cat behavior consultant. And if your quality of life as his caregiver is a concern, it’s also time. Signs that your cat’s quality of life is seriously impacted include:

• Frequent aggression towards you or other pets
• Infrequent, but very severe aggression
• Hiding or isolating
• Urinating or defecating outside of the litter box
• Decreased or loss of appetite
• Heightened sensitivity to noises
• Hypervigilance (constantly surveying surroundings for a threat)
• Any major change in behavior (not acting like himself)
