Caring for my cat

by Caroline Crevier-Chabot

Caring for our cat starts with offering them food, water, a toilet (a litter box) and an environment promoting their well-being, but there are also special care items that sometimes need to be done, whether it’s temporarily or in a recurring manner. This kind of care can include:

All this care is provided with the goal of helping your cat, but they don’t always see it that way. This can make the experience stressful, both for your cat and you.

It’s possible to create a treatment plan that your cat will participate in more cooperatively. We can teach our cat that care tasks pay well!

We will proceed using approximations of the final behavior and we will reward each of those approximations.

The progress we gain can be transferable to visits at the groomers or the veterinarian, because by creating a care routine that your cat perceives as pleasant, we make subsequent experiences in other contexts less stressful.

Other care items that we can train include:

By training for this, we can make veterinary visits more predictable and therefore less stressful for your cat. Using predictor cues, training patterns and good treats makes all the difference.

It will be our pleasure to create a care plan for you and your cat. To book an appointment, click here.
