Cat Behaviour Support & Training in Brisbane
Helping you understand what your cat is trying to tell you.
Cats communicate through behaviour just as much as dogs do. When your cat suddenly stops using the litter tray, starts scratching furniture, lashes out at another pet or spends most of their time hiding, it can be difficult to know what has changed.
Sammy provides personalised, in-home cat behaviour support across Brisbane to help you understand what may be contributing to the behaviour and make practical changes at home.
Cat Training Session — $300 for 1 hour in-home.
Cat Behaviour Is Communication
Cats can be incredibly good at telling us when something isn’t working for them. The challenge is knowing what to look for.
Changes in toileting, social behaviour, scratching, hiding, vocalising or aggression can all tell us something about how comfortable a cat feels in their environment.
Sammy looks at the bigger picture — including routines, resources, environment, interactions and what happens around the behaviour.
Cat Behaviour Concerns Sammy Can Help With
Litter Tray Problems
Support for cats who toilet outside the litter tray, avoid particular trays or suddenly change their toileting habits. Because medical issues can contribute to litter tray changes, veterinary assessment may also be recommended.
Scratching Furniture or People
Scratching is normal cat behaviour. Training and environmental changes can help provide more appropriate outlets while looking at why your cat is scratching particular places or people.
Biting & Aggressive Behaviour
Support for cats who bite, scratch, swat or show aggressive behaviour towards people or other animals.
Fearful & Anxious Cats
For cats who hide, avoid interaction, struggle with visitors or find particular parts of everyday life overwhelming.
Introducing Cats to Dogs or Other Cats
Introductions can take time. Sammy can help you create a more gradual, structured process when introducing animals or when existing introductions have become difficult.
Stress, Confidence & Settling In
Support for shy or rescue cats, excessive meowing, attention-seeking, over-grooming, settling into a new home and other stress-related behaviour.
Your Cat’s Environment Matters
- Where your cat eats
- Where they sleep
- Where litter trays are positioned
- Whether they have somewhere high to retreat
- How they access food and water
- How they interact with other animals
Because Sammy works in your home, she can look at your cat’s real environment rather than relying on a generic behaviour plan.

Book a SessionWhen to Speak With Your Vet
Behaviour changes can sometimes have medical causes. If your cat suddenly stops using the litter tray, starts over-grooming, becomes unusually aggressive or shows another sudden change in behaviour, veterinary assessment may be important.
Sammy does not diagnose medical conditions, and behaviour support can work alongside appropriate veterinary care.
