Cat WhispererWhat is a Cat Whisperer? A Cat Whisperer is someone who tames and trains cats, heals emotional damage and assists an owner to a better relationship with the cat.
For myself, I've had Persians and black cats mostly, show up and move in. Sometimes, the cat's people moved and abandoned the cat. Other times, the cat just decided it liked it better at my house. That is not to say that those are the only cats I've had. Far from it! Those are just the ones who chose me. I usually had a cat or two already, and I think my indoor kitties had it so good that the "strays" liked what they saw and wanted some, too. Some say that a Cat Whisperer is a cat therapist, but in truth, most Cat Whisperers are good cat behaviorists. Most have never had any formal training, and come by it naturally. They understand a cat's way of thinking and work with its existing behaviors to achieve the desired results. Gentle cat handling and patience are the best qualities exhibited by a cat whisperer. A good cat whisperer knows when to call the vet and when to deal with a problem, helping make visits to the vet and the accompanying trauma to the cat minimal. Some cats that have been abused will only respond to a Cat Whisperer. Other people may try to help the cat and only see a scared cat with a long memory of abuse and hurt. These cats often tragically end up in kill shelters. It is tragic because the cats have already endured so much. Many of these poor cats were once loved and coddled pets. They were abandoned, mistreated by children or cruel adults, terrorized by dogs and possibly even tortured. With careful handling and some gentle retraining, these cats can be wonderful pets again. When a cat is this badly damaged emotionally and physically, it takes great patience and care to bring the poor cat back to some semblance of normalcy around people. This cat needs a Cat Whisperer. Cat Whisperers do not usually have a Feral Cat Colony living in their back yards. The cats come one by one. Often they have more than one cat. Since I am so articulate, I've chosen to help people over the internet. By the owner or interested person sending an email to me and beginning a dialogue, I can help troubled cats in a wider arena than just my neighborhood or town. This is what makes this website unique. I'm here to help you. I can tell you what steps to take to overcome most of your greatest problems with your cat - or the cats in your neighborhood. If you have a problem with a cat, I invite your emailed question. Just fill out the contact form and I will get back to you - usually within 24 hours, certainly within 72 hours.
