Feline Behaviour Consultations & Referrals

Managing stress in cats
 
Is your cat displaying signs of stress? If your cat is urinating (for example - spraying) or defecating innappropriately, acting aggressively towards you or other pets, or overgrooming? All of these can be signs of underlying stress.

Behavioural problems can be straightforward and only require minimal changes to the environment to resolve the problem. Sadly, in many cases behavioural problems are complicated and the issues noted by the owner are the result of the escalation of longstanding stress. Improving the wellbeing of the cat requires commitment from the owner to ensure a smooth transition to a stress free environment.

We can help! Our veterinary surgeon, Amanda Nicholls BVetMed MRCVS has recently completed a European recognised Diploma in Managing Stress in Cats. Amanda is happy to take on all feline behaviour cases either as a referral from other practices, or if you are an owner looking for behaviour advice you can contact us to discuss this service further with a member of our team.
