313: Troubleshooting Cat Behavior Issues with Molly Kelsey

52 minutes

How do we empower our clients to live better lives with their cats? As cat care becomes a larger part of pet services, more clients are looking for help. Molly Kelsey, The Cat Counsellor, joins the show to give us insights into feline behavior. Cat communication is all about body language, so not only must we understand it, but we also must be willing to teach out client's about it. Molly has advice for troubleshooting common cat issues but ultimately, we have to realize it's up to the owner to decide how much work they'll put into it.

Main topics

Cat culture in New Zealand
Common problems with cats
Understanding cat behavior
Caring for timid cats
Help cats (and owners) through big transitions

Main takeaway: We have the responsibility of being an advocate for the cats in our care and educating their owners.

About our guest:

Hey! name is Molly Kelsey, professed serial tea drinker, Feline Behavioural Specialist, Vet Nurse, and foster fail when it comes to orphan neonatal Tabbys. I have had the pleasure of working with cats for over ten years in companion animal practice, pet sitting, volunteering in New Zealand and overseas, and more recently, as a Feline Behavioural Specialist. I am the only PPG registered Feline Behaviour Consultant in New Zealand and am also registered with the IAABC. My work ethos centres around improving the mental and physical well-being of every cat I am asked to assist with. This is achieved by educating and empowering owners, pet sitters, shelter staff, and veterinary professionals.
