Welcome to my personal website. I’m a writer and a cat expert. Cats make me laugh and I’m devoted to their welfare. I’ve written several best selling books about cats. Look me up in Amazon – click here. Or click on the books shown on the right.
During 20 years as the Daily Telegraph pets columnist and pet agony aunt, I dealt with about 100,000 questions on animal behaviour. In order to improve my feline knowledge I gained a first class honours degree in applied animal behaviour in 2010. I have since done a masters degree in clinical animal behaviour at Lincoln University. My behaviour advice is science based.
I still do some journalism. I review serious books about animal behaviour and ecology for The Salisbury Review. I can help you find a good cat behaviour counsellor as I am not currently taking on behaviour consultations.
I have lectured on cat behaviour at Ruskin Anglia University and Oxford Adult Education. I offer a free science-based talk on cat behaviour problems that might be interesting as part of continuing professional development for veterinary staff. This would cover normal cat behaviour and common cat behaviour problems. I also have a talk for bookshops if required.

There is a separate section on standing stones which you will find on the right hand top of this page.

Just for fun there are videos of me training cats or my cats doing interesting stuff here. And some toads and frogs!
CATS AND WILDLIFE. I spoke in defence of cats at a Controversial Conservation debate put on by the World Land Trust. You can listen to my talk here.
