The Cat Analyst, Certified Cat Behaviorist, Virtual Sessions - Nationwide

Verified Member since Nov 2026 Verified checkmark

I am Rita Reimers, Fear Free Certified Cat Behaviorist and founder of The Cat Analyst, with over 30 years of experience helping cats and their humans live together in harmony. I specialize exclusively in feline behavior, offering personalized virtual consultations to cat guardians worldwide.

Whether you are dealing with aggression between cats, litter box avoidance, inappropriate urination, anxiety, destructive behavior, excessive vocalization, or difficulties introducing a new cat, I can help you understand what is driving the behavior and develop a practical plan to address it.

My approach focuses on understanding each cat as an individual, identifying the underlying causes of behavior problems, and helping families create lasting solutions. You do not have to navigate challenging cat behavior alone. Let's fix this together!

My L.U.C.K.Y. C.A.T. Philosophy
Over the years, I have developed my L.U.C.K.Y. C.A.T. philosophy, the framework that guides every consultation I do. Each letter represents a principle that supports peaceful coexistence:

L = Love: Approach your cats with love and patience.
U = Understanding: Learn what motivates each cat and respect individual needs.
C = Communication: Read body language, listen to vocalizations, and notice what each cat is telling you.
K = Kindness: Guide and redirect gently. Never use harsh punishment.
Y = YOU: Your actions, timing, and responses shape how safe your cats feel.
C = Consistent: Respond predictably and maintain routines that build trust.
A = Attention: Give each cat individual attention and notice changes in behavior.
T = Time: Give the process the time it needs. Lasting change cannot be rushed.
