Beginning her life as a dog person, Allison talks about the value of using dog training methods to benefit cat behavior modification, and vice-versa. After losing her first companion cat in 2014, Allison focused on making cats lives better through behavior as a labor of love. Volunteering with Husker Cats changed Allison’s idea of a “feral” cat and inspired her passion for working with community and companion cats.
Allison and Stacy chat about how environment, body language, and building a cat’s confidence are all factors that directly affect the emotional life of cats. Allison identifies cat aggression, due to miscommunication and fear, as a common issue that she works with. She tells Stacy,“I love the teaching aspect. I love seeing the people grow and love seeing the changes in the cats.”
