Cat behaviourist - Lisa Sinnott
Behaviour services for people and their cats so you can live the happiest of lives together.
Lisa Sinnott is an award winning business founder. She has studied clinical animal behaviour with the prestigious University of Edinburgh Royal (Dick) School of Vet Studies. She offers cat behavioural consultations in Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. Services can also be offered online around the UK.
Lisa can help you understand why your cat is behaving in a certain way. By understanding the emotion behind the behaviour we can understand the motivation for it.
It can be upsetting and distressing when your cat has a behavioural challenge. I am here to help.
‘He is behaving so well. We are really greatful about how you have educated us on our interactions with him. He loves your cat tree idea.’ Dave, St Albans
Your cat is unique. That’s why a full history is taken so I understand the different reasons for their behaviour. Behaviour services are done on vet referral to rule out anything medical. I can let you know at the consultation if it is an advice session or behaviour session that you will need.

My Services

Lisa can help with the following challenges:
Defecating outside of the litter tray
Aggression between cats
Human directed aggression
Over - vocalisation
Lisa can also help with prevention services in St Albans, Harpenden and remotely around the UK including:
· Socialisation and habituating your kitten

Prevention, although often under-used can help prevent behavioural challenges later on. It can help set your cat up for success.
Feeling worried and anxious about your cats behaviour and unsure why they are behaving they way they are? I set up St Claws Academy so you can get support and guidance every step of the way. It can be difficult living with a cat who has a behavioural challenge – you love them and may not understand why they are behaving in this way. You may feel alone in this journey and have tried countless techniques but with little or no change. My aim is to help you feel happier with your cats behaviour and support you. I put a plan in place that is suited to you and your cat to help tackle the behavioural challenge. I am qualified (I studied a postgraduate diploma with University of Edinburgh Royal Vet School in clinical animal behaviour) and I am a provisional member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors.
I can help with cat behavioural challenges such as:
– Tension with cats who live together
– Toileting outside the litter tray
– Over vocalisation
– Enrichment and play ideas for cats
I can do this successfully in person or online.
I use kind methods that are rooted in science and do NOT use any techniques designed to scare your cat.
I set up St Claws Academy as I think cats are majestic creatures who deserve the best. They are definitely not small dogs! Sometimes their behaviour can be confusing but with the right understanding that is relevant for their needs (I always do my best to think cat!), they can be happier.

“I had a Zoom call with Lisa to help me with introducing 2 new kittens into my home, with my older cat and my family. She was so helpful, knowledgeable and kind. I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough!”
Louise, St Albans
“Lisa was so helpful when she visited our home to give advice on how to reduce the conflict between our several cats. We were requred to provide a lot of background information in advance, but she'd read it all and her one-hour session with us (and our cats) was packed with incredibly useful advice. Over time we've implemented all her recommendations, and each stage has helped to create a more harmonious atmosphere. She left us with details of plenty of reading material so we can keep learning. We highly recommend her.”
David, St Albans
“You provided clear common sense advice based on our circumstances. Thank you for staying in touch to monitor progress. Our cat liked lots of your ideas and our understanding of the importance of his behaviour when interacting has been an important part of our learning from you, for which we are very greatful. ”
