We’re tremendous excited to introduce a brand new common function on The Acutely aware Cat: Ask the Cat Behaviorist with Mikel Delgado! We launched you to Mikel final week. She is a Licensed Cat Conduct Advisor at Feline Minds, providing on-site consultations for cat guardians, shelters, and pet-related companies within the San Francisco Bay Space, and distant consultations all over the world. She is at the moment finishing her PhD in Psychology at UC Berkeley, the place she research animal habits and human-pet relationships.
“I’ve been obsessive about cats for so long as I can keep in mind,” Mikel instructed me. After she started volunteering at her native animal shelter (the San Francisco SPCA,) she was significantly drawn to working with shy cats and cats who have been having problem dealing with the stress of being in a shelter. After she had been volunteering for a few 12 months, the SPCA had a gap for a Cat Conduct Specialist. “I’d been volunteering so many hours that they supplied me the job,” says Mikel. She stop her different job (in Human Sources at a well being meals co-op) to observe her ardour to work with cats. “I haven’t regarded again since,” she says.
