Is Your Cat Turning Your Home into a Litter Box?
You adore your cat, but the constant accidents have you at your wits' end. You're incredibly frustrated by the constant cleaning, and it feels like you've tried everything – every online tip, every product on the shelf.
You've invested heavily in carpet cleaners, deodorisers, enzymatic solutions, and experimented with different litters and trays. Your cat has been given a clean bill of health by your vet, and maybe you've even plugged in those calming diffusers.
But the problem persists, and it's a constant drain on your finances and your emotional well-being.
You're caught in a cycle of worry and frustration:
The lingering odours: "Can I smell pee?!" "What will visitors think?"
The mounting damage: to your floors and furniture...
The nagging question: "Why won't they just use the litter box?"
And you worry about your cat:
Are they unhappy?
Are they stressed?
What are they trying to tell me with this behaviour?
It feels like you've tried everything, and nothing has worked. It's easy to feel defeated and disheartened with this incredibly common, yet frustrating, problem.
But there is genuine hope.
Imagine walking into your home and being greeted by freshness, not fear of finding another mess. Imagine seeing your cat confidently and consistently using their litter box. Imagine the relief, the peace of mind, and the simple joy of just being with your feline friend again, without the underlying stress of finding a rogue pee or poo!

Smokey
I wanted to update you regarding Smokey, our young Bengal cat who was spraying in specific places in our home. Once I put your recommendations in to place, there has been only one episode of spraying.
The effect of your interventions were so sudden and complete it was astonishing. I am enormously grateful to you for your help, which has been transformative for both Smokey and me.

Jum Jum
My gorgeous Burmese cat Jum Jum preferred to poo on the floor rather than use the litter tray. For a year I had tried everything I could think of to encourage him to use the litter tray but everything failed. I knew it was time to seek professional help when I had guests from London staying this summer and one of them accidentally stood in one of Jum Jum’s ‘offerings’.
During my search for a cat behaviour expert I was particularly impressed by Mat’s credentials and testimonials but even so I had my doubts about whether Jum Jum’s behaviour could be positively modified, given the duration of the problem and the extent of my previous intervention attempts.
I couldn’t have been more wrong because with Mat’s advice the problem was sorted literally overnight and Jum Jum has been happily using his litter tray full time since! My friends and relatives are equally delighted and are now looking forward to visiting again!
Thank you Mat for all your help - and restoring my sanity!

Harry
We had a serious problem with our Ragdoll cat Harry spraying indoors every day, and so booked a consultation with Mat. Mat travelled to see us all in our own home environment which meant he could observe Harry’s behaviour and see how his life was structured. Mat gave us some fabulous advice on every aspect of the problem and helped us better understand life from a feline perspective. Harry is so much better behaved now, and more importantly we think he is leading a happier and more stimulating life. He has also become a lot more affectionate!
We would recommend Mat to anyone with any sort of pet behaviour problem and will certainly be recommending him to our local veterinary service.
Thank you again Mat for your great help and advice.

Moseley
Moseley decided after 11 years of using a litter tray, that he preferred using the hall floor to toilet. This made for a very unpleasant 'al fresco' toileting area in our house. The impact of this was dreadful for ourselves and Moseley, our normally harmonious home was no more. We couldn't use the front door, had a very smelly hall floor and Moseley and I were not the best of friends, both very much stressed.
After checking for possible health reasons for this behaviour, the vet recommended consulting Mathew for help. Mathew came out to the house, assessed the situation and gave clear instructions both verbally and in a written report. I have to say I was skeptical of the solution (I felt it couldn't be that simple!) working. But, it worked immediately. We now have our hall back, a clean floor, no smell and use of the front door again! Oh and we now have a much happier and contented cat. We are all friends again. I can't thank Mathew enough.

Margaret
I just wanted to thank you very much for the advice you provided. I can’t believe it took me that long to get in touch in the first place!
After years of progressively worsening litter issues, Margaret hasn’t gone out of the litter tray once since we put into place your recommendations. It’s made a phenomenal difference, she seems happier, and our relationship is better for it.
I can’t thank you enough. I heartily recommend you!
