Problem(s) Solved:Integrating cats into the household together

Graymalk’s “grey areas” come to light!

Previously our cat had stress-induced cystitis and we needed help to make sure the months’ long renovation would be as stress-free and cystitis-free as possible. We had worked with another behavioralist a few months prior but were left needing much more support and applicable advice, and I was even more thorough and cautious about who to work with next. Ingrid fit the bill! She is a rare blend of no nonsense, deep deep knowledge, and truly empathetic to an array of kitty-human needs. Read more “Graymalk’s “grey areas” come to light!”

The not so neutered, Nevi!

I had a very good experience with Ingrid! If it weren’t for that push by Ingrid, I never would have thought to check that! I also want to mention that
throughout this ordeal, but before and after we knew exactly what the problem was, Ingrid always responded promptly to my requests for help or just a shoulder to lean on. It was good to have someone who cared in my corner.

Rags and Flees!

We heard about Ingrid and set up the conference. We listened to her sage advice and followed her instructions. We learned a lot of what the cats were trying to tell us in their not-so-subtle ways. Voila, the work we did with Ingrid and the changes we made, made a huge difference in the quality of life for us, but best of all our boys. Read more “Rags and Flees!”

A senior lady and a little gentleman!

All the consultation has been done remotely, and it has been a truly spectacular experience. With all the resources at our disposal, as well as her conversational availability, I was able to get a much better handle on my little boy’s manic energy! Ingrid also allowed me to be a much better advocate for Luna at her vet. I sincerely can’t thank Ingrid enough for all her patience, care and compassion!

Peeing, itching and fighting!

I have had cats all my life and considered myself pretty knowledgeable about cat behavior. I have been working with Ingrid for over a year now. Ingrid has been there for our cats through every change in our household, helping the cats adjust especially after the loss of our amazing Dobby cat. Our cats are now doing great. Ingrid helped me understand their needs so much better than I truly ever thought was possible. They bring us so much joy and when you have concerns about their behavior don’t give up on them. Ingrid will help you work through your issues step by step. Read more “Peeing, itching and fighting!”

Successful introductions!

I wish I had reached out to Ingrid from day one. When we had our first phone consultation, Ingrid helped me realize I hadn’t even been trying to solve the right problem. I was trying to make Cassie less “aggressive”, when in fact Cassie’s hisses and growls were her trying to say “Hey, I’m feeling unsafe. Please give me some space.” Read more “Successful introductions!”
