Behavior Help for Cats

Many cats are surrendered to animal shelters because of solveable behavior problems or unrealistic expectations.
Research shows that most pets are surrendered to animal shelters because of common behavior problems their families didn't know how to solve. However, behavior challenges don't have to end this way. Most behavior problems can be addressed with three things: knowledge, patience and a plan.
Below are tip sheets provided by the HSUS and the ASPCA that address the most common behavior issues and training techniques. If you still need help, ask your veterinarian and check out the links to the left to find personalized help.
