Stop Living With Stressful & Time-Consuming
Do Any of These Problems Sound Familiar?
Your Cat...
- Consistently avoids the litter box, no matter what you do.
- Loves to scratch your expensive furniture.
- Attacks you out of nowhere, maybe even while you’re petting them and they seem to be enjoying it!
- Spends most of their time under the bed, in the closet, or somewhere else hidden. Maybe they even hiss or growl when someone approaches them.
- Tries to run out the door every time you open it. Which is particularly difficult to deal with when you’re coming home, and your hands are full.
- Just cannot get along with your other cat. They’re always hissing and growling at each other. They even get into fights.
- Gets into (and maybe even on top of) everything!
You...
- Are dealing with multiple cat behavior issues, and you’re completely overwhelmed. You just don’t even know what to do anymore.
- Feel like you’ve done everything to try and fix the problem(s), but nothing works. Sometimes it even makes it worse!
- Even feel as if they’re doing these things just to be spiteful.
- Are pretty sure they know when they’re doing something wrong, because when they get caught, they run away.
Feel Like You're Stuck In An Endless Cycle of Stress?
Big picture-wise, these can seem like such small problems. But in reality, they can be a constant source of frustration and stress, which leads into resentment and bitterness. These feelings can destroy your relationship with your cat, and even put massive strain on relationships with your human loved ones.
Because the alternative is something you can’t even bring yourself to think of, and the moment you do, the guilt sets in. You still love your cat, no matter how angry he makes you. You even find yourself defending him sometimes, especially when your friends or family say that you should just “get rid of him”.
Spending Lots of Time & Money, Yet Still Feeling Hopeless?
So, you know your cat has a problem. What do you do? Try everything? Waste loads of time and money? That’s what I did!
I Wasted So Much Time
- Scouring the depths of the internet for solutions.
- Reading blogs, forums, books, Facebook Groups geared toward cat behavior.
- Trying every pretend “quick fix” I could find.
- Taking advice from well-meaning friends (who, it turned out, had no clue what they were talking about!)
I Wasted Money On
- Pheromone diffusers that didn’t work.
- Different kinds of litter.
- New scratchers my cats never used.
- Toys they never played with.
- New furniture they just ended up ruining.
- Deterrents, sprays, the list goes on…
Every attempt at solving their behavior problems just seemed to backfire, and make them more frightened, and more confused.
Let’s face it, no one likes to waste money, but time… Time is something you can never get back.
The Truth Is...
The truth is that the solutions I mentioned above rarely work, if ever.
The Simple Reasons Why These Solutions Don’t Work:
- Cats are complex, and even more misunderstood.
- People tend to regard cats the same way they regard dogs. Cats are nothing like dogs.
- Every single situation is unique.
- Every single cat is unique.
- Any cut and dry solution is only ONE PIECE of the whole puzzle.
This is the reason you have not found a real resolution. You don’t have a plan created by someone who understands cats, that takes into account your entire unique situation.
I want to hold your hand, and walk you through the entire process!
I Have Been Where You Are
I am a Certified Cat Behavior Counselor, it’s true. But professional qualifications aside, I truly understand what you are going through.
I Know Exactly What It Feels Like To:
- Be at the end of your rope.
- Feel like you’ve tried everything to fix the behavior.
- Fight about the cat(s) with other members of the house.
- Listen to your friends and family tell you to “just get rid of them.“
- Feel guilty, like it’s your fault.
- Wonder if your cat is doing things to spite you.
- Feel completely hopeless and stressed out every single day.
It’s amazing how even the behavior issues that seem small, can have such a huge negative impact on your life!
Finally, Restore Peace to Your Home.

We knew we needed help to control some behaviors of our two cats - one scratched everything and the other hid from absolutely everyone. We were also pretty skeptical about a Cat Behaviorist...is that a thing? We met Lauren by Zoom for our initial consultation and she was great. Luckily we are in Orlando and she was able to assess them in person. Totally worth it. Her consultative and caring manner kept the pets in focus and she gave us a detailed plan to follow. I'm proud to share that the behaviors have been fixed which will ensure many happy years with the cats and two sane owners!

“”I first met Lauren on a cat behavioral page when I adopted my boy. He has had the worst start in life and was terrified of life itself. [He came from a hoarder’s house in Dubai, where he was confined to a cage with two other cats.]
Lauren kindly said she was happy to give me a few helpful tips so we began our journey together. This hasn’t been the easiest for either of us, as we’re on different continents but we have made it work. Unfortunately, toffee is also very ill [and almost completely blind] but with our dedication, patience and mutual understanding, toffee has now gone from being a terrified poorly little boy, to a stronger happier cat that is growing in confidence daily.
When he arrived here, he spent his life in a cardboard box, not moving. Now he loves his bed and cat tree, no box in sight, and he talks to us. He is purring at our tickle times, and even trusts me to rub his belly.
All this has happened in just 11 weeks! He still has a long way to go, but thanks to Lauren’s advice, and our persistence, hopefully he has a long, happy, caring life ahead and NEVER has a negative experience again.
Thank you hunny for your help although I think you’re secretly in love with him too.”

"Lauren has been extraordinarily helpful with her tips and Behavior Plan for my cat, Bogdan. I adopted him as a 2 year old and he had a few behavioral problems. Lauren listened intently as I described my concerns and formatted a lovely plan for me and my cat. The multiple page document I was sent laid out each concern I had with an abundance of solutions. She explained signs of over-stimulation in cats, gave tips on play structure and how to keep him off my counters. I had 6 different concerns and she helped with each and every one. I also appreciated the inclusion of links to purchase different items to enrich my cats environment. I trust Lauren's opinion and expertise and would recommend her to anyone with a cat they love."

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! I conduct most of my consultations over Zoom, especially because of COVID-19. We can also do it over the phone, if you are more comfortable with that. If you have concerns, schedule an introductory call with me.
Cats are independent beings, and while we can have a strong influence on their behavior, we cannot control it. Many feline behavior problems require a lot of time and patience to correct – some are simpler and quicker than others. There are many influencing factors, and many times the issues are not standalone.
Behavior packages can be extended if you need more time, and in some cases, this may be strongly recommended. If you are concerned, you may schedule an introductory consult with me to make sure that we click!
There are three ways to determine this.
- Take the quiz (here) to guide you in the right direction. Note: This is not a perfect system. I have created it to the best of my ability, and it works well, but there is still some room for error. This is not a huge concern, and can be rectified once I speak with you, and go over your behavior questionnaire.
- See if you can identify with any of the behavior problems listed under the consultation information.
- Schedule an introductory consultation with me, and I will ask you questions about your situation, in order to determine which option is the best fit for you.
Yes! For this particular situation, I recommend choosing the Comprehensive Behavior Package, so I can set you up with a custom behavior plan. Otherwise, you may schedule a Basic Consultation with me, and purchase extra sessions afterwards, if needed.
No. I am not a pet medium, animal communicator, or a psychic of any kind. My skills are based in behavior science, observation, and problem solving. For the most part, I work with you directly to make adjustments to your cat’s routines, interactions, environment, etc., in order to influence their behavior.
I will want to meet your cat, but after observing your cat’s behaviors, I will be working directly with you.
A free introductory call with me will last a max of 15 minutes. It’s purpose is for me to get a quick background on your cat’s situation, to answer any questions you may have regarding the packages or the consultation itself, and to help you decide whether or not my services are right for you. No behavior questions will be answered during this call, and it does not take the place of a consultation.
Let me first tell you what I do not recommend. I do not recommend ANY type of fear-based training/behavior modification techniques (i.e. caging, flooding, squirt bottles, etc.) . I will never recommend any alpha training techniques (which is basically trying to put your cat in it’s place by being the top cat yourself).
What I do recommend is positive reinforcement techniques (such as clicker training), trust building exercises and techniques, desensitization (strategically exposing the cat to something to diminish the associated fear), and counterconditioning (turning a negative experience into a positive one). I will also most likely recommend changes to make the environment more cat-friendly.
I cannot guarantee that your cat’s behavioral issues can be fixed within any sort of time frame. Behavior modification takes time and patience, and every single situation is unique. However, I should be able to identify the possible causes that are influencing your cat’s problem behavior from our consultation.
During a consultation, I will be gathering as much information as possible, based off of your questionnaire, plus observation of your cat and the home environment. This will allow me to develop your behavior plan. The behavior plan will detail my assessment of what is causing the behavior problem, and my recommendations that you will need to implement in order to see a positive change in your cat’s behavior.
You must be willing to dedicate the time that’s necessary in order to see the results you are hoping for. There is no magic wand I can wave to change your cat’s behavior overnight or during a consultation.
I will need you to:
- Fill out the questionnaire at least two days prior to our consultation.
I will request videos that are relevant to the behavior(s) of concern. These could include, but are not limited to:
- Cat doing the behavior
- Specifics of their environment
- Playtime
- Routines
- etc.
Having as much information and video footage ready for me before the consultation is highly recommended, and makes things easier.
Let Me Support You Every Step of the Way...
Hi there loving cat parent, I’m Lauren! I ‘m a Certified Cat Behavior Counselor, who has been working with cats for about 9 years. I know, this isn’t exactly a career many people have heard of. Truth be told, it’s more of a calling, than a career. A calling that is born from such a deep curiosity and love for cats, and everything about them.
I, myself, have four incredible and unbelievably loved cats. To me, no cat is “just a cat.” And when you choose to share your life with them, they’re a member of the family.
But, let’s be honest, living with cats (like anything else!) comes with it’s challenges. You see, I didn’t just learn what I know about cats from a book, or getting certified. Over the years, I have actually experienced almost every behavior issue in the book with my own cats.
Behavior problems in cats may seem small, but I know how they can consume your life, and even your relationships.
My mission is to help dedicated cat parents, like you, realize that you don’t have to choose between your cat, and the life you want.
