Compassion-first, research-backed support for frustrated cat parents.
Hi there! If you're reading this, chances are you've got a cat scratching furniture, biting hands, peeing on the floor outside the litter box or just "not themselves." I want you to know something: you're not alone, and more importantly, it's not your fault.
Meet Lucia
I am not just a cat lover. I have qualifications in feline psychology, veterinary nursing, and pet nutrition, so my approach is holistic but evidence-informed.
My work is founded on:
• Trust in your cat's instincts and emotional requirements
• Non-punishment, positive behavioral change
• Helping you to feel confident and empowered along the way.
Whether your cat is hissing at guests, won't use the litter box, or nipping at other pets, I help you unravel the "why" and rebuild trust, step by step.
What I Help With
Cats aren't stubborn, they're misunderstood. Nearly every behavior issue has a reason why.
Most Common Issues I Work With:
-
Scratching furniture, doors, or rugs
-
Play attacking or biting
-
Peeing or pooping outside the litter box
-
Attacking people or other animals
-
New-cat blues when moving or introducing new family members
-
Difficulty socializing new cat
-
Overgrooming, hiding, or absent affection
No two cats are alike, and neither are their solutions. My goal is to help you identify your unique cat, and rebuild the bond that you both require.
