Seattle 2021 Testimonial From Dr. Midori Higashi
I consulted Mieshelle for my 4 month old kitten Bun Bun. When we got her, it was like she had never used a litter box. She was peeing/pooping on the carpet, on the bed, on the bathroom floor…I was having to do laundry every single day. I was at my wits end. I did extensive research to find a solution…cat forums, books, youtube videos, etc. I tried everything…different boxes, litter types, etc. She was traumatized every time I would attempt to even place her in the box. Within one week of consulting with Mieshelle, she had fixed our problems. Bun Bun hasn’t had a problem in over 6 weeks. She also helped us integrate a second kitty. Her tips/tricks helped the kitties love each other before they even met. I 100% recommend The Cat Behavior Clinic!

Helping Washington Cat Owners Think Scientifically About Their Cats’ Behavior Issues. View 350 Testimonials and Solved Case Studies
To change a cat’s behavior, it’s important to work with an experienced cat behaviorist, but most importantly, one with formal study in animal behavior that can apply the sciences of genetics, animal psychology, biology, and physiology to effectively correct a cat’s behavior. An effective behavior plan to correct a cat’s behavior long term must be grounded in feline evolutionary biology and gene-encoded behavior.

Mieshelle Nagelschneider and our doctor perform in-person, video, or phone consultations in the Seattle area or anywhere in the State of Washington. All in-person consultations are scheduled in advance for the Seattle and surrounding area locations. Mieshelle and the veterinarians will travel to the cat’s location to assess the cat’s environment and observe the natural behavior exhibited in the home. Many cat owners schedule video calls for urination defecation, aggression, and vocalization issues because this enables them to easily have follow-up calls at no charge after their initial behavior plan consultation.
