CONSULTATION
I think my cat has a problem, can you help me?
Contrary to popular belief, cats don’t just act randomly or “have their own ways.” Feline behaviour problems often stem from specific emotional or environmental triggers. A thorough clinical investigation can help uncover the root cause. By addressing these issues, you and your cat can enjoy a more harmonious relationship and an improved quality of life. Most cat behaviour problems can either be fully resolved or significantly improved with the right approach and management strategies.
Are you a cat whisperer?
No, I can’t talk to cats if that’s what you have in mind. However, I can read cat’s body language. More importantly, I am doing the detective work to help you to see your set up from your cat’s eyes. By working together, we can get to the bottom of this and work toward a solution.
Does virtual consultation work? I’d prefer someone to come to my home and observe my cat.
Surprisingly, one of the key lessons from the pandemic is that virtual consultations for feline behavior often work even better than in-person visits! This is because your cat remains unaware that I’m observing, allowing them to act naturally. Additionally, much of the process involves you gathering insights about your cat’s behaviour in their daily environment. Since I won’t be living in your home, one focused hour of virtual consultation can achieve far more than an in-person session where your cat may hide or behave unnaturally.
Attention: Before seeking behavioural therapy, please check with your veterinarian to make sure there is no underlying medical condition. Most behavioural problem has an underlying physical cause.

- won’t take much needed medication
- cannot be groomed resulting in matted fur

“To every cat lover out there…Ciapek in one day showed us that there is a big chance of improvement and establishing human and cat relationship like we have with the other three cats. His enemy number one was able to see him face to face and hold him for the first time thanks to Alice and we will follow her advice for Ciapek’s happiness so that we can all have a less stressed life living together. Thanks Alice for your great advice.”
“Alice helped me figure out the best way for my old cat and new kitten to reintegrate after a rocky first introduction and a stressful time. They will never be best friends but Alice’s suggestions definitely helped them and me reduce our stresses and live in relative harmony.
Highly recommended if you can’t understand what your furry friend is trying to tell you!”
Alice helped me see a whole new perspective on my problem. She not only gives great advice on all cat matters but also great insights into humans! I feel I could potentially have saved a small fortune by reaching out to Alice. I would highly recommend getting in touch with Alice for any cat problems. She was very accommodating and generous of her time, and has a lovely warm manner. Thanks again Alice.
“My wife and I adopted a one-year-old stray cat through Phibsboro Cat Rescue, and while he was very affectionate with us, he did not care for our existing 14-year-old cat. We had fears about him hurting her as she is older and has severe anxiety issues, but we also felt like he had a lot of potential to be a great domesticated indoor pet. We just had to get them to get along! After exhausting the normal cat integration techniques and starting to worry that we would have to return him to the rescue, we knew we had to call a professional. Just one online cat behavioral therapy session with Alice had us instantly feeling less stressed and more hopeful. She has a great way of helping you better understand how a cat thinks and what they need to get through a transitional time. She had great suggestions and together we came up with a plan that would allow them to get to know each other in a safe way. Turns out the cats were picking up on our stress, and didn’t know what the big deal was ; ) One month later they are interacting and coexisting quite peacefully, with no hissing, marking, or other behavioral problems—all thanks to Alice!”
Last year our cat Ted was diagnosed with FIV and we were told by our vet that he now had to stay 100% indoors from being almost a fully outdoor cat. Ted absolutely adores the outdoors so we couldn’t imagine how he would make the transition. To make matters more difficult, Ted had gotten used to only going to the toilet outdoors. We desperately needed advice and support to help Ted and us along with this transition. This is when we met Alice. From the first time we met Alice, her positive attitude and practical solutions had a huge positive impact. We knew the road wouldn’t be easy, but Alice made what seemed impossible possible. She put a plan in place which was very doable and fit in with our busy lives. Ted is now 5 months indoors and he is a happy well-adjusted cat. We both know that without Alice this simply would not have been possible. We are extremely grateful to her and her ongoing support. We have probably saved €1000 by seeking advice but it is very hard to put a price on Ted’s life and our sanity! Anyone who is having any difficulty or challenge with their cats please don’t hesitate to contact Alice. It will change your and your cat’s life for the better.
“Our cat Neko was very stressed after moving to our new house overseas. He hid for over two weeks and stopped feeding himself after a week. After multiple trips to the vet with little success (and more stress!), we found Alice who gave us an emphatic description of Neko’s state of mind and how to get his stress levels down so he would eat again. We saw rapid success and just 3 days later, Neko was not only eating, but out of his hiding place and eating by himself out in the kitchen. We wished we had found Alice sooner! THANK YOU!!!”
“I wanna thank you for the advices you gave me regarding Lola & Zorro, they didnt get a long very well and it took like a week til they were friends and Alice gave different advices how to help them to be friends and what to do and now everything is good, also she gave recommendstions for our bengal cat and how to keep her busy and how to make her different challenges so she wouldnt be bored.”
Alice, you simply changed our lives! For better! I honestly was heartbroken … You helped us to solve the great mystery of why my beloved cat suddenly stopped using the litter box! You analysed all the details with me, you’ve listened to all my stories and you just figured this out! I still can’t get my head around how on earth the litter we used for years became the one he simply hated! You are amazing! So committed and helpful! Every step of the way I really can’t thank you enough! I wish I reached out earlier, the floor was ruined and cost a lot of money, but it’s not always about the money, to understand the reason and knowledge how to solve it the cat problem, is that counts the most! Also, the aftercare you provide is something you don’t see too often, best-spent money, worth every penny! Can’t recommend it enough! Thank you from the bottom of my heart
