Feline Behavior Solutions | Cat Behaviorists - Nationwide

Member since Oct 2026

At Feline Behavior Solutions, Dr. Marci Koski & LeeAnna Buis help cat guardians understand and resolve the behavior challenges that can make life with a cat stressful, frustrating, or even heartbreaking.

We specialize in challenging introductions between cats and other pets, litterbox and house-soiling problems, aggression toward people or other animals, scratching, counter-surfing, excessive vocalization, and many other feline behavior concerns. We take the time to understand what is driving a behavior and create practical, compassionate solutions that work for both cats and the people who love them.

Experience matters when it comes to cat behavior. Feline Behavior Solutions has been helping cats and their guardians since 2014, giving us more than a decade of hands-on experience with a wide range of feline behavior challenges. Over the years, we’ve worked with cats and families in all kinds of circumstances and have developed the knowledge and perspective that comes from seeing what works, what doesn’t, and how to tailor recommendations to each individual cat and household.

We also believe behavior care isn’t only about solving problems. Cats deserve opportunities to express their natural behaviors and thrive in their homes. We love helping guardians enrich their cats’ lives through play, environmental enrichment, clicker training, and other positive, engaging activities, whether they’re dealing with a specific behavior concern or simply want to help their cat live their best life.

If you’re looking for an experienced, compassionate cat behavior consultant who genuinely cares about both you and your cat, you’ve come to the right place. We understand how difficult it can be when behavior problems come between you and a cat you love, and we’re here to help you understand your cat, find effective solutions, and build a happier life together.
