In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Rachel Geller, a certified humane education specialist and cat behavior expert. She shares some incredible insights on how to understand and help our feline friends better.

Here are three key takeaways from our conversation:

Surrender Prevention: Dr. Geller shares her passion for keeping cats in their homes and out of shelters. By providing resources and solutions to common cat behavior issues, she has successfully prevented over 1,000 cats from being surrendered. Her Surrender Prevention Course offers valuable tools for shelters, rescues, and cat owners to address behavioral challenges effectively.

Understanding Cat Behavior: We discuss the importance of looking at cat behavior from the feline perspective. From litter box problems to scratching issues, Dr. Geller emphasizes the need to empathize with our cats and address their needs accordingly. By thinking like a cat and making simple adjustments, we can create a more harmonious environment for our furry companions.

Positive Reinforcement: Dr. Geller highlights the significance of using positive reinforcement techniques when addressing unwanted behaviors in cats. By focusing on distraction, redirection, and deterrence without resorting to punishment, we can effectively train our cats and strengthen our bond with them.

She also shares insights from her book, "Saving the World One Cat at a Time," which offers practical advice and supports cat shelters and low-income cat owners. If you're a cat enthusiast looking to deepen your understanding of feline behavior and enhance your relationship with your cat, this episode is a must! 🎧🐈
