Is your cat’s behavior bringing you down?
Don’t give up – we’re here to help!
Our Standard Consultation is designed to tackle big behavior issues, help improve relationships, and allow your cat’s best self to shine. It’s only through understanding why our feline companions do what they do, and need what they need, that we can fully appreciate them and find ways to adjust unwanted behaviors in a way that meets everyone’s needs. The goal is to create an environment where everyone is happier!
Standard Consultations are Perfect for:

Your Standard Consultation Includes:

Our Behavior Consultants
Your cat is not “just another cat” to me.
If your cat has behavior issues that are causing stress, frustration, or resentment, I can help. I’m Dr. Marci Koski, and I’m passionate about helping cats and their people live happy lives together. I can teach you how to give your cat appropriate outlets for her natural behaviors and stop unwanted ones. Or, if you want to give your cat the best life possible, I can show you how to meet your cat’s needs and prevent problem behaviors from starting. I work with cat guardians all over the world and can help improve the quality of life for both you and your kitty!
Allow me to introduce you to your cat.
Every cat deserves a good life. And every cat lover deserves a best feline friend. I strive to keep human and feline families together and build better relationships between them. I work with your cat’s instinctual needs, not against them, to adjust and correct unwanted behaviors. Using thoughtful enrichment, straightforward training techniques, and simple methods to provide for their basic needs, you can not only live a better life with your cat but also discover what unique, fascinating, complex creatures they are.
Worried About Time?
We understand that cats and people move at different paces, and you may need more time to either resolve a particular issue or feel comfortable moving forward on your own. Don’t worry! You can extend your consultation at any time for only $75 per 30-day extension. The extension includes another check-in call and 30 additional days of email support, so relax and work at a pace that both you and your cat are comfortable with!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is video as good as an in-person consultation?
As long as you can walk us around your home using a laptop, tablet, or phone, we can see what’s important – your cat’s environment! Even with in-person consultations, we often rarely see the behavior in question. The main drawback is that with a video meeting we don’t get to meet your kitty so we miss out on petting and playing, which is a bummer for us!
Further, whether we meet via video or in-person, you can always send us videos and photos of your cat doing the behavior you’re concerned about, or have us review training/desensitization sessions as well. Video technology has allowed us to help cats all over the world!
How does a video consult work?
Having a video consultation is super easy. We use Zoom for these meetings; upon scheduling, you’ll receive a confirmation email that contains your meeting link. We typically don’t record these sessions (aside from when you show us around your home, with your permission, for our own reference in case we need to give something a second look later), and we will never share any video recorded with anyone else.
Do you have a guarantee policy?
Because there are so many factors that are out of our control when it comes to improving your cat’s behavior, we cannot offer a guarantee. We make recommendations and you implement the plan; we can’t control how much of the plan you execute, or how well you do the things we recommend. We also can’t control your cat’s response or your environment. That being said, if you have questions about how to do something or need help with overcoming an obstacle, that’s what we’re here for – just reach out for help when you need it.
