Have You Ever Thought of Hiring a Cat Behaviorist?

By Cynthia Del Rey


Cats are not like dogs and if anything this can be hard for a dog owner who has a cat to fully understand. Cats have a totally different way of displaying emotion, despair and hate. In the majority of cases people are unable to understand cats because their displays of emotions tend to be a bit subtle which makes it impossible for many humans to understand. Felines are also solitary in nature which is why deciphering what your cat wants can only be done by a good cat psychologist.

A cat behaviorist is someone who specializes in understanding cats and their emotional and physical actions. Most cat psychologists will tell you that cats do not develop issues just because they want to spite their human owners.

If you have observed your cat behaving strangely such as attacking your furniture, or attacking you it is not because they hate you. It is because they are having issues which you are not able to fully understand and this is why a cat psychologist should be brought in.

If you notice that your cat has changed the way they behave such as if they become suddenly aggressive, become excessively timid, does not eat food despite being perfectly healthy etc. you may want to consult a cat psychologist about it.

Many times cats are exhibiting this type of behavior to tell their owner something which they fail to see. Over time if an owner ignores their cat the cat can become increasingly aggressive and do all sorts of things to get their attention. Probably this is one reason why many cat psychologists will tell cat owners to give their pets time and try to observe their subtle emotional responses in order to fully understand them.

Cats make excellent pets and despite them being somewhat aloof they tend to be independent in terms of keeping themselves clean, letting you know that they are hungry and also protecting their own kittens. However, when things go wrong for some reason it is always a good idea to take your cat to an expert.

In some extreme cases when you actually are considering giving away your cat you should first try to seek the help of a cat psychologist before you label your kitty as being a lost cause and a perfect candidate to be dumped.
