always seem, what they appear to be. Ask this person how many
cats that they train a year. This will give you an idea if they
have really trained a cat or just seem to think they are a
trainer.

or the vet for information about training will not be a great

and will lead you to the vet, as they are the ones that deal
with the medical problem and the trainer with the training
problem. We are selves would not go to a heart doctor if our
foot is hurting. Putting a cat on drugs for behavior problems is

genetic or psychotic one. You can spend a lot of time and money
