You have a cat that loves to stalk your other cat(s).
That same cat consistently pounces on, and attacks your other cat(s).
Sometimes, you can see it coming, but you are powerless to stop it, no matter what you try.
-Avoid the litter box.
-Spend most of their time hiding under the bed, in the closet, or somewhere else secluded. Maybe they even hiss or growl when someone approaches them.
-Try to run out the door every time you open it.
-Are dealing with multiple cat behavior issues, and you’re completely overwhelmed and at the end of your rope! You just don’t even know what to do anymore.
-Are terrified that your cat is going to get seriously hurt.
-Feel like you’ve done everything to try and fix the problem(s), but nothing works. Sometimes it even makes it worse!
I rescued a sweet, fluffy, innocent cat who had been dumped at an abandoned factory. She was full of fleas, and had large abscesses on her hindquarters. We took her home to care for her, and eventually settled on the name Ellie.
At the time, I had another cat named Nia, who was quite used to being an only child. So, I kept Ellie quarantined until she healed up and was flea-free. In the meantime, I day-dreamed about her and Nia cuddling up in a sunny window together, grooming one another. I pictured them playing together, and Nia being happy she was no longer alone.
My beautiful daydream quickly turned into a nightmare when the two of them met face-to-face!
I had done my best to introduce them to each other beforehand, but as soon as their eyes met, I saw a whole new side to this sweet rescue kitty. The beast was unleashed, and in a split second, it was nothing but Nia’s screams and fur flying in the air.
I had to keep them constantly separated. But once in a while Ellie would shove past me, and go straight for Nia. And when she did, she was out for blood.
At the time, I felt betrayed by this sweet fluff ball that I had nursed back to health. How could she be so awful to my cat?
Fighting between cats becomes 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.
Here’s a picture of Nia & Ellie.
They are proof that no relationship is hopeless, with persistence, and the right behavior plan.
I am a Certified Cat Behavior Counselor, it’s true. But professional qualifications aside, I truly understand what you are going through.
It’s amazing how aggression between cats, can have such a huge negative impact on your entire life!
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!
Every attempt at solving Ellie’s aggression problem just seemed to backfire, and make the situation even worse!
Let’s face it, no one likes to waste money, but time… Time is something you can never get back.
THE TRUTH IS, THE FACT THAT YOUR CAT IS HAVING BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS IS NOT YOUR FAULT!!!!
Cat owners have been misinformed, and fed constant lies for so long, how could you possibly know what to do!?
This is why I want to hold your hand, and walk you through the entire process!

“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.”
-Margo M. a.k.a. Bogdan’s Mom
“”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.”

If you're dealing with other frustrating cat behavior problems, check out my other Behavior Packages, below!
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 two ways to determine this:
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 30 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:
I will request videos that are relevant to the behavior(s) of concern. These could include, but are not limited to:
Having as much information and video footage ready for me before the consultation is highly recommended, and makes things easier.
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.
Transform Your Cat's Behavior, Transform Your Life.
