Cat Behavior Consulting

Cat behavior consultants help solve feline behavior problems including litter box issues, aggression, anxiety, and multi-cat conflicts.

With 60M+ cat households and cat behaviorists scarce, consultants generate revenue of $85,000-$310,000 with 80-95% margins.

The business requires feline behavior certification (IAABC Cat), cat behavior expertise, virtual consultation setup, and in-home capability.

Services include litter box problem-solving, inter-cat aggression, fear and anxiety, inappropriate scratching, multi-cat household mediation, and environmental enrichment plans.

Pricing typically $150-$300 per consultation, $800-$3,000 for behavior programs.

Success factors include cat behavior certification and expertise, understanding medical vs behavioral causes, working with veterinarians, virtual consultation efficiency, and targeting vet referrals.

Most consultations are virtual nationwide.

Marketing focuses on vet partnerships, cat owner groups, and litter box issues (most common).

With cat behavior problems causing relinquishment and specialists rare in 2025, cat consulting offers feline opportunities.
