Cat Behaviourist coming to see Bernard....

charliebubs · 31-07-2007, 12:32 PM

I've taken the decision to get a cat shrink

to come and see Bernard, as he's not getting any better. In fact he might even be getting worse. The inappropriate toileting has stopped, but the crying and demanding attention has increased. He woke me up 3 separate times last night; he was just sat at the side of the bed looking up at me and crying.

I'm at my wits end, as I don't know how to help him and cannot carry on like this.

My vets put me in touch with this behaviourist who lives quite locally. I called her this morning and she's coming over on Thursday to meet Bernard and give her diagnosis.

Fingers crossed that she brings her magic wand!!!

Also, I'm collecting Red this weekend and really need to get Bernard sorted. I have thought about delaying getting Red, but have decided to go ahead with getting him. I might as well do it all in one go and hope that Bernard will recover from it all, rather than get him better now and then bring in Red and set him back again.

Thank goodness for insurance that covers referrals to behaviourists.............Bernard's does!!! Phew

It's costing £215 for her consultation

I hope I'll be able to report that it was worth every penny!!

Good luck with the consultation - always wondered if these people really can help with behaviour issues....

Good luck Charlie! I hope she does help Bernard. I've got used to Balie sitting by the bed, wailing. In our case, it's him 'asking' if he can get onto the bed . . . 'cept sometimes you actually have to lift him on whereupon he'll settle down and sleep. I can almost do it in my sleep now.

I do so hope that the behaviourist will get to the root of Bernard's problems and that she can offer a resolve but £215

I had no idea they were so expensive
