Media
As a clinical animal behaviourist specialising in feline behaviour, training and welfare, I regularly share expert insight on the fascinating and often misunderstood world of cats.
My work has been featured in a range of magazines, newspapers and journals, and I have appeared on podcasts and spoken at conferences discussing feline behaviour, welfare and the human–cat relationship.
As an award-winning cat writer and professional member of the Cat Writers Association, I’m passionate about making accurate, evidence-informed information about cats accessible to a wider audience.
