A little while ago a journalist asked me to comment on an article she was writing about cats being therapy cats and also as assistance animals.
​
Some cats, like Chives in this article, are amazing therapy cats as they love people and can help which is so cool!
​
I love this article as it shows how wonderful cats can be to help calm and soothe people (think we all know that!), but also confirms how important it is that cats need to be happy in these roles as not every cat will enjoy it and not every cat is a good candidate. Cats are little emotional sponges so have to be resilient to cope with being a therapy cat and it has to be positive for the cat as well as for the people. The same goes for cats being assistance animals and going out with people. Most cats just want to stay home in their familiar environment whilst some cats love going out and being around other people. Like humans, every cat is unique!

The Local Business Awards, St George.
It was lovely to be a finalist in The Local Business Awards. Whilst I didn't win (which is perfectly fine with me!) I was so chuffed and thankful for all of your votes. Also, a huge thank you to all of my amazing clients for entrusting me to help you and your cat(s). Thank you!

It was great to be asked to do a live Q & A session on ABC Radio by Alice Matthews about cat behaviour. Hopefully, it helps to raise awareness that cats need our help with behavioural issues and that there is help available, so fewer cats are rehomed or surrendered. My interview starts at around 1 hour and 4 seconds.

It was a lovely surprise when a journalist asked me to feature in an article as one of NSW's leading animal behaviourists! It is great to have cat (and parrot and horse) behaviourists included as a lot of people think only dogs can be trained and / or helped with behavioural issues. Thankfully, the word is now getting out that other animals can also get behavioural help and be trained.

​
Pets Magazine contacted me regarding a contribution on harness training for cats in an article - as long as your cat is a good candidate, harness training and going on walks can be great for cats. Although, please keep in mind that not all cats are suited to this. Please feel free to contact me if you would like help assessing your cat and to train your cat.
