At South Austin Cat Hospital, we understand that behavioral issues can be just as detrimental to your cat’s wellbeing as health issues. That is why we offer behavior counseling services. Some of the issues we can help you address include:
- Socialization & positive reinforcement training
- Introducing a new cat into the home
- Urinating or defecating outside the litter box
- Scratching & destructive behavior
- Aggression toward humans or other animals in the home
- Excessive vocalization
- Other behavioral issues
Most of the behaviors that we humans consider a problem are really just normal cat behaviors being expressed in undesirable ways. Using a combination of positive reinforcement training, environmental modification, nutraceuticles, and (in rare circumstances) medications, we can help you solve your cat’s behavior. If you are in need of behavioral advice for your cat, please call to schedule a cat behavior consultation & examination.
