A Professional’s Guide to Feline Behaviour is an invaluable resource for the feline professiona, yet written in such an accessible way that it would be of interest to anyone who shares their life with a cat and wants to gain a deeper understanding of their behaviour.

• A greater understanding of cats and how to meet their needs.
• How to recognise and mitigate negative emotions and deal with challenges that cats face both at home and particularly in the workplace.
• How to analyse feline behaviour accurately, with a view to designing a tailored behaviour modification plan.
• Comprehensive information on common, and not so common, problematic feline behaviours.
• The fundamentals of learning theory, with step-by-step training guides.
• Real-life case studies, accompanied with behaviour plans that integrate clinically proven methods to help manage or resolve a range of behaviour issues.

Written by Caroline Clark, a Registered Clinical Animal Behaviourist and RCVS listed veterinary nurse, this well-researched book draws from her knowledge and professional experiences, offering a unique insight into feline behaviour.

Caroline has been working with cats and other companion animals for over 40 years and during that time has amassed a wealth of knowledge. She began her career as a veterinary nurse and, after many years in first opinion veterinary practice, spent some time lecturing. Having a passion for animal behaviour, she gained a post graduate diploma in companion animal behaviour at Southampton University, being fortunate to study under some of the world’s leading behaviourists. Since then, Caroline has been working with cats and their caregivers to help them overcome a range of problematic behaviours so they can lead happier lives. Caroline divides her time between seeing clinical behaviour cases, mentoring budding behaviourists and providing online and in-person continuing education to the veterinary community and other pet professionals. In her spare time, Caroline loves to spend time with her animals in the Yorkshire Wolds where she lives. Caroline can be contacted at www.carolineclarkauthor.co.uk
