Before the initial consultation, you must complete a detailed questionnaire about your cat’s personality and medical history. The questionnaire will be provided to you by Smiling Kitty.Before the initial consultation, you must take your cat to the vet. Many behavior problems in cats are symptoms of pain or illness. For that reason, possible health causes must be ruled out beforehand. Behavior modification cannot cure illness. Smiling Kitty is NOT a veterinarian service, and our consultations and training plans cannot replace medical treatment.

Cat-Sitting Services

Most loving cat parents don’t like leaving their cats for long periods, so planning a vacation or a weekend getaway can be nerve-racking. Should you board your cat, or have a friend with no cat experience tend to them on your behalf? In either case, your cat will experience an uncomfortable disruption of daily routines that can cause them long-term fear and anxiety. If your cat feels abandoned, it can cause health and behavior problems such as litter box avoidance, constipation, increased aloofness, and over grooming, so choosing the right sitter option for your cat is very important – and you don’t have to search anymore!

Kitty Spa Day

Do you work a lot, come home late, and often have to leave your cat for the entire day? Does your absence make your cat feel lonely, depressed, or neglected? If so, book a Kitty Spa Day with Smiling Kitty! Our Kitty Spa Day is a two-hour home visit by our certified cat behaviorist. The visit includes a special play session designed to challenge your cat and provide mental stimulation. Your cat will play with novelty toys, and our behaviorist will use cat training to encourage play and teach your cat tricks. Based on your cat’s temperament, the visit may include special cat massages and petting sessions. If no diet restrictions are in place, your cat will also enjoy a variety of homemade treats. Our Kitty Spa Day stimulates your cat with undivided, human attention, thereby making your long workdays easier for everyone.
