Is your cat’s behaviour making home life stressful? Scratches, fights, and messes can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to handle them alone. Many cat owners struggle with issues like aggression, toileting outside the litter tray, or tension between household cats, but with the right expert support, these problems can be resolved.
At Animal Behaviour Kent, we specialise in helping cats with serious behaviour challenges, not just basic training. Daniel Shaw MSc, CDBC is an experienced behaviourist with a background in neuroscience, psychology, and the science of feline behaviour. He has helped countless owners regain harmony at home using a science-backed, practical approach designed for lasting change.
Common Cat Behaviour Challenges We Help With:
✔ Fighting between cats at home – Tension, chasing, hissing, or full-blown fights.
✔ Litter tray problems – Toileting in inappropriate locations.
✔ Aggression towards people – Biting, scratching, or sudden attacks.
✔ Fearfulness – Hiding and avoidance behaviour.
No two cats are the same, and every case is unique. Whether your cat is showing aggression, struggling with their litter tray, or experiencing conflict with other cats in the home, we’ll help you understand their behaviour and create a personalised plan for long-term solutions.
See below for information on our behaviour programmes and areas we cover.
