Our pets have fears, concerns, and wants or preferences. They have an opinion and when we talk, they can share them with me, so their wishes are heard. I recently had a client whose Persian cat with the most beautiful hair stopped using the litter box. There were three of them available for two cats. When I first tuned in, she gave me many reasons why she didn’t use the boxes, mostly because she didn’t want to. I explained how rude she was, her family took such good care with food, shelter and of course love. She acknowledged she was being a brat and agreed to use the litter box. A few days later my client contacted me, and I asked again why she was not using the litter box. Finally, she said she didn’t like the litter sticking to her fur on her bottom. I recalled from my grooming days a “sani-cut” was something we did for the long-haired cats and dogs. The sani-cut is where we clipped the hair around the anus and back of the legs, so the hair didn’t get in the way when they were peeing or pooping. There are reasons for their behavior, they just must be able to tell us.
Another client’s cat was having her morning time out on the fresh dewy lawn when the tree trimmers were there early and came through the gates, unannounced. She ran off and her mom could not find her for hours, so she called me. I tuned in and told my client when the noises subsided, and they are gone she will return. I saw her jump the back fence and hiding in the neighbor’s backyard watching the guys do their thing. A few hours later she felt safe to jump back over and come home. My client called to let me know when she returned. Happy kitty and safe at home.
Our pets sometimes have their protests, being finicky – or it could be a way to train us too. If they refuse to eat certain foods, maybe something better will be given to them. Sometimes pet food formulas change, more fillers to save money. Check the labels. Allergies can also develop later in their life.
Call me when you are having issues with your pet and let’s work together to resolve them.
