Dorota Szadurska, Feline Behaviourist: Behaviour Consultations, Therapy and Training.
In-Person and Online Consultations, Also Available in Polish.
I am a practising behaviourist specialising in feline behaviour. I have been working with cats at various stages of development and in mixed-age groups for over 20 years. This does not mean that I already know everything there is to know about cats, as learning the feline language is a never-ending process. For this reason, I continuously pursue further professional development, both in Poland and abroad. I am a graduate of Animal Psychology at the Polish Academy of Sciences, a COAPE-certified behaviourist, a graduate of the "Studium Kot" course, and the advanced "Advanced Diploma Applied Animal Behaviour (Feline) Level 5" course in feline crisis management, organised by a certified and accredited educational institution in the United Kingdom. I am a member of the COAPE Polska Association of Behaviourists and Trainers, The International Society of Animal Professionals, The International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, and the Polish Ethological Society (PTEtol). Within the COAPE Polska Association of Behaviourists and Trainers, I hold the title of Behaviourist Supervisor. Since 2024, as a COAPE Polska lecturer, I have been training the next generations of feline behaviourists.
I have been working with cats for 23 years, and for the past 17 years I have been teaching cat guardians how to understand the hidden feline world and helping them improve their relationships with their feline companions. After all, problems can arise even in the best cat-human relationship. This is hardly surprising when dealing with an animal that, despite living alongside us, still remains relatively poorly understood. I therefore invite you to explore the guide available on this website, where you are sure to find answers to many of the questions you may have. Should you wish to further expand your knowledge or require professional support, please feel free to contact me.
As part of my professional practice, I provide behavioural consultations, helping cats and their guardians address behavioural problems arising from a wide range of underlying causes. I also deliver lectures and training courses aimed at promoting a better understanding of feline behaviour. If anything about your cat's behaviour concerns you, or if you are unsure what your cat is trying to communicate, please feel free to contact me.
