Friday, March 13, 2026 • Duration 13:13

Ep 6: What Actually Happens During a Cat Behaviour Consultation?

Many people consider booking a behaviour consultation but aren’t quite sure what actually happens during one.

In this episode of Cat Talk by Alice Cat Expert, clinical animal behaviourist Alice Chau walks through the consultation process — from the information gathered before the appointment, to diagnosis, training plans, and follow-up support.

Alice explains why most of her consultations are conducted online, how this often works better for cats, and how understanding the full context of the household is essential when addressing behaviour problems.

In this episode

Why many cat behaviour consultations are now done online
What information clients provide before the consultation
How case history and behavioural assessment work
What behavioural diagnosis and prognosis mean
Why client education is part of the consultation process
How training plans are designed collaboratively
What realistic expectations and progress milestones look like
How follow-up support works after the consultation

Behaviour consultations are not about quick fixes. They are structured assessments that look at the cat, the environment, and the household as a whole.

Ep 5: What Is a Clinical Animal Behaviourist?

Tuesday, February 17, 2026 • Duration 11:49

Episode 5: What Is a Clinical Animal Behaviourist?

The term “clinical animal behaviourist” is often misunderstood, and frequently used interchangeably with trainer, behaviour consultant, or veterinary behaviourist.

In this episode of Cat Talk by Alice Cat Expert, clinical animal behaviourist Alice Chau explains what the role actually involves, how it differs from other behaviour-related professions, and why clarity matters when seeking help for cat behaviour problems.

You’ll learn:

what “clinical” means in a behavioural context
the level of postgraduate study involved
how behavioural diagnosis and treatment planning work
the difference between clinical animal behaviourists, trainers, behaviour consultants, and veterinary behaviourists
why collaboration is often essential
why the industry is not formally regulated in many countries
and why the educational pathway can be complex and difficult to access

This episode provides a factual overview of the profession, including its scope, limitations, and the realities of working in a small, largely self-employed field.

Understanding who does what in animal behaviour care helps you seek the right support — at the right time.

Ep 4: Why Does My Cat Attack Me for No Reason?

Tuesday, February 10, 2026 • Duration 15:51

Episode 4: Why Does My Cat Attack Me for No Reason?

Sudden pouncing, ankle attacks, or rough play can look like aggression — but often it’s misplaced hunting behaviour.

In this episode of Cat Talk by Alice Cat Expert, clinical animal behaviourist Alice Chau focuses on misplaced hunting behaviour and how to redirect it safely.

Before you say “but I already tried toys”, this episode goes beyond the usual “play with your cat more” advice and looks at what actually makes a difference.

You’ll learn how to recognise misplaced hunting behaviour, why punishment increases frustration, and how appropriate outlets — such as choosing toys that suit your individual cat, using toys correctly, feeding puzzles, and clicker training — can reduce unwanted attacks and improve quality of life for both cats and people.

Unlike the previous episodes that focus on situations requiring urgent professional help, this episode looks at patterns many people can start addressing at home, with realistic expectations and practical guidance. These are trial-tested approaches Alice has used with her clients over the years.

Behaviour isn’t random — there’s always a reason.

In this episode:

What misplaced hunting behaviour looks like in everyday homes
How to choose toys that match your cat’s prey style
How to play with the toys that is actually engaging to your cat
Why timing and routine matter more than play duration
How feeding puzzles and clicker training provide healthy outlets
When extra support may be needed

Ep 3: Is It Aggression — or Is It Misplaced Hunting Behaviour?

Tuesday, February 3, 2026 • Duration 13:18

Episode 3: Is It Aggression — or Is It Misplaced Hunting Behaviour?

Aggression is one of the most worrying cat behaviour problems people seek help for - but not everything that looks aggressive actually is.

In this episode of Cat Talk by Alice Cat Expert, Alice breaks down what aggression really means from a behavioural perspective, and why it’s often confused with misplaced hunting behaviour.

The episode explores how behaviours like biting, scratching, chasing, or ambushing can have very different motivations, why context and body language matter more than the behaviour itself, and how mislabelling behaviour as aggression can increase frustration and risk.

Alice also discusses when behaviour truly is aggression, why these cases should always be taken seriously, and when seeking experienced professional support is urgent.

Behaviour isn’t random — there’s always a reason.

In this episode:

What aggression actually is — and what it isn’t
Common behaviours that get mislabelled as aggression
How to tell aggression from hunting behaviour
Why aggression requires urgent help

Tuesday, February 3, 2026 • Duration 24:05

Episode 2: Going Outside the Box — Why Do Cats Stop Using the Litter Box?

When a cat stops using the litter box, it’s not about stubbornness or cleanliness.
Litter box problems are a sign that something isn’t working.

Litter box problems are one of the most common, and most misunderstood, cat behaviour issues.

We will explore the difference between litter tray avoidance and marking, common medical contributors, emotional and environmental factors, and why litter tray setup matters more than many people realise. Alice also addresses common myths: such as assuming it’s always anxiety or territorial behaviour, and explains why random fixes often fail.

If you’re dealing with litter box problems, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on and how to approach the issue in a structured, welfare-focused way.

Behaviour isn’t random — there’s always a reason.

In this episode:

Why litter box problems happen
Medical vs behavioural considerations
Litter tray avoidance vs marking
The impact of stress and environment
Common myths and mistakes
What to do when problems start
