How Cat Behavior Consultations Work
Cat behavior consultations last 2-3 hours.
For online cat behavior consultations, there is a behavioral questionnaire to complete. Video clips of the home environment, your cat(s), and any relevant problem behaviors are requested.
For in-person cat behavior consults, there is a behavioral questionnaire to fill out. Pre-visit recommendations may also be made to address behavior concerns.
