Ep 6: What Actually Happens During a Cat Behaviour Consultation?

Many people consider booking a behaviour consultation but aren’t quite sure what actually happens during one.

In this episode of Cat Talk by Alice Cat Expert, clinical animal behaviourist Alice Chau walks through the consultation process — from the information gathered before the appointment, to diagnosis, training plans, and follow-up support.

Alice explains why most of her consultations are conducted online, how this often works better for cats, and how understanding the full context of the household is essential when addressing behaviour problems.

In this episode

• Why many cat behaviour consultations are now done online
• What information clients provide before the consultation
• How case history and behavioural assessment work
• What behavioural diagnosis and prognosis mean
• Why client education is part of the consultation process
• How training plans are designed collaboratively
• What realistic expectations and progress milestones look like
• How follow-up support works after the consultation

Behaviour consultations are not about quick fixes. They are structured assessments that look at the cat, the environment, and the household as a whole.

Behaviour isn’t random — there’s always a reason.
