Approached my young cat with a gentle and knowledgeable stance, made me a plan to follow to help with training and preventing any bad behaviours developing as he is a rescue and I am unaware of his past. She also discussed positive reinforcements and I made this appointment more as a preventative than a cure which has worked out well. His behaviour and quality of life has improved and our home is more harmonious. She was honest about what compromises I may have to make whilst also being aware of any limitations I might have had.
