You can read about some of the cases I have dealt with below and discover the difference professional intervention can make to build a happy home and relationship with your companion animal:
We recently sought advice and guidance from Vicky with our three cats. Our middle cat Liliana started to express symptoms of depression and stress following the unexpected loss of her litter mate sister Isabella. Liliana began wandering restlessly through the night and then developed behavioral urination outside the litter tray which escalated when we introduced another cat in to the household.
I’ve owned cats all my adult life and I’ve developed a lot of knowledge over the years. We had tried so much to try and help settle Liliana but she was so up and down and no matter what we tried it didn’t seem to have any lasting effect.
Liliana appeared to have two problems both a physical health problem as well as behavioural issue and she has been a complex case.
We have worked with Vicky for a while now and in conjunction with my vets I feel we have made a lot of progress with Liliana.
Vicky helped us to understand the raw cat instincts and she helped us navigate through Liliana’s complex circumstances.
From the first contact with Vicky she’s been extremely knowledgeable and very responsive to my many questions and queries. Vicky’s pre-assessment of the situation was extremely thorough; from her initial questionnaire and meeting through to her detailed assessment.
Vicky’s love of animals clearly shines through with every single communication I’ve had with her.
Helping cat's grief through loss of close sibling
- Gemma G
When I adopted a very nervous rescue cat, Vicky helped me with settling her in and making her feel more confident in my home. Within a couple of days of Vicky's visit, Matilda was snuggling up to me on the sofa whereas previously she was very wary of it. Vicky was full of ideas and tips to make Matilda feel more comfortable and less stressed. As a result, Matilda quickly became more sociable, affectionate and less anxious. I am very appreciative of Vicky's help and I was extremely impressed by her knowledge, creativity, passion and positivity. Thank you!
Help with a newly adopted anxious cat
- Nicole S
Vicky is amazing at her work, I can't thank her enough for her help and advice, she has been fantastic. My gorgeous rescue cat, Enzo, had mild aggression, but within one week of my consultation with Vicky, I saw a big and extremely positive difference in him! I couldn't believe it! Vicky is also very friendly and caring, i highly recommend her and I am so happy with everything she has done for Enzo, and most importantly so is Enzo! Thank you Vicky, I am so pleased I contacted you.
Cat biting sometimes
- Hannah L
"Hi there Vicky Thanks so much for your concern and emails. In terms of his behavior, he really has become the cat that we knew he was and he regularly plays and cuddles. The soiling of the bed has stopped and is generally as much happier cat now! Many thanks again for all your advice, I know we both (and Pushkins) are very happy that we sought you out and will recommend your services too!"

Vicky, having you to help with training my 2-year-old cockapoo has truly been an education. Your gentle, compassionate approach, together with the exercises and games that you've taught us, have resulted not only in a calmer, more relaxed young dog, but also a happier cat and a grateful owner. It's been a Win Win experience. Thank you very much...

Pebbles, urinating all over the house
- Penny R
Vicky is a fascinating person and knows all things cat! I got in touch with her after rescuing a kitten that had been abandoned at the back of our house. Trevor was showing aggression towards me but not my husband or son. Vicky helped us to understand our little spitfire and gave us invaluable advice. The initial assessment and follow-up communication has been exceptional. After implementing her suggestions, Trevor, although he can still have moments, has become much more loving towards me. I highly recommend Vicky for anyone with feline behavioural issues.
Helping Trevor, scratching and biting caregiver
- Penny F
My 6-year-old cat suddenly became very aggressive (scratching and biting) towards my husband and I. Vicky came to our home and helped us figure out what the problem was and suggested solutions that actually worked! Vicky is very professional, attentive and passionate about her job. She taught us a lot about cat behaviour and made a difference in our cat's life and ours. A year has passed by and our cat is super sweet, playful and happy. Sometimes I just can't believe the change! Vicky, I will be forever grateful.
Help with cat behaving aggressively
- Aurora
“The cats seem to be doing great. The fighting between them is greatly reduced, to the point where I would say it might have stopped. In addition we caught India giving McGee a really good wash, licking him all over as if there wasn’t a problem between the two of them at all. She’s also lying down in different areas of the house such as the middle of the bedroom floor. She’s never behaved in such a way, and we’re interpreting it as that she must be much more comfortable in the house and not having to hide away in a ‘safe place’. She’s also playing much more, with food and toys. Thank you so much.”
Cats fighting with each other
- Paul W
Vicky came to our home on the day Alice arrived, to help with her introduction to my other cat. Her positivity and clear love of all animals is very clear to see; everything she suggested, and which I put into practice, has meant that the whole introductory process has worked better than I could have imagined. During the 3½ weeks Alice has been here, there has been no aggression from anyone, and the atmosphere has been, and remains, calm. Thanks a zillion Vicky!”
