At Animal Behaviour Kent, we specialise in helping cats with serious behaviour challenges, not just basic training. Daniel Shaw MSc, CDBC is an experienced cat 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.
"Daniel has been amazing in helping me with my cat who become very difficult after he was unwell. I had one session face to face and from there within a few weeks all my problems was sorted and my cat is even better then he was before. Thank you so much."
