I very much enjoyed and valued my meeting with Marjan. I’ve been raving about it non-stop. Marjan was so helpful, kind and gave great advise – it was a great comfort to be able to sit down face to face with an expert and discuss all of my concerns. I finally feel like I can put to bed the nagging voice in my head that kept telling me I could/should be doing more for my sweet, elderly cat Poppy.

I contacted Marjan for support with my rescue, Babka, who just didn’t seem to be thriving. As a first-time cat parent, I had learnt and done as much as I could in preparation, but after 9 months still didn’t feel she had settled very well. Marjan came to see Babka and I at home, and was extremely generous with her time and gave me lots of helpful, easy-to-follow advice on everything from play and touch to scratching and stimulation. She really listened to get a clear understanding of the situation before giving her expert guidance, and was so encouraging and non-judgemental I feel confident in providing a great home environment for Babka. The morning after Marjan came to see us, Babka came and sat on my lap for the first time in months!

Working with Marjan during the introduction of our new cat, Fredukas, to our older cat, Fine, made such a difference to us. What felt like a really stressful and emotional process at the start became something much more manageable and positive with her guidance.

She supported us every step of the way, always quick to respond to our questions and concerns, no matter how small. What I appreciated most was how reassuring she was, especially since I tend to be quite an anxious person. She never made me feel silly for worrying and always explained things clearly, which helped me feel much more confident in what we were doing.

Thanks to her advice, the introduction went so much more smoothly than I expected. Our cats are now able to share their hammocks and even nap together in the same bed, which I honestly didn’t think would be possible at the beginning.

I’m really grateful for her support and would absolutely recommend her to anyone going through a similar experience.

We booked Marjan to come and see our two cats (sisters) after they’d had a big fight and were displaying aggression to each other following that incident. Marjan took the time to get to know my partner and I and to learn about the girls and their behaviour before and during the visit so she could give us feedback – and what invaluable feedback it was! We wanted to know what we were doing wrong probably more than what was going on with the girls, and the feedback, advice and recommendations she gave us have helped all of us so much. The girls’ behaviour has improved a lot and we have learnt so much about how to create a better home and life for them. 

Marjan is a very competent cat behaviourist with a calming effect on the cats and us (she definitely reduced my stress!). Since we received her report and recommendations, we’ve had follow up emails and check-ins too. 

I would definitely recommend Marjan to anyone having behavioural issues with their cat(s). She is an investment into your cat’s happiness and generally a lovely person!

Marjan is simply life-changing at what she does, and was my saviour at a time of sheer desperation and hopelessness. Because of his abused past with a prior owner, my rescued boy had been attacking me viciously and drawing blood to the extent that the vet thought he should be put down. I had lost friends over him and acquired several scars. The situation had got so bad that I even had to move out of my place and in with my mother! When Marjan came she was so open hearted & trusting that we saw results almost immediately – he settled down next to her and gave her his paw in a way I’d never seen before. I couldn’t believe that this was the same cat! What followed was a comprehensive analysis of our interaction together, pinpointing small things – which one could easily overlook – that were influencing my boy’s behaviour. Marjan continued to discuss diet, toys, cats’ emotional/psychological responses. No piece in his behavioural puzzle was left unturned. We are just 10 days into my little panther’s rehabilitation but already I am able to see positive changes in him (and me). I have steadily increased my exposure to him (now at 45mins) with a view of moving back in and we have *finally* started to enjoy one another’s company.  He now purrs and rubs alongside me in a loving way & I have started to feel like his mum and not like something he’s hunting. Marjan is so dedicated to what she does; she uses her expertise but also creativity to find solutions that are very personalised to your cat, you and your home. She is also very knowledgeable on products that can enrich your cat’s life and bring them greater happiness. I had been waiting for things to change for so long and they didn’t. I had been trying to discipline him myself but it wasn’t working. I’m so glad that I found Marjan, she has given me the hope that I didn’t think was possible and slowly… I am starting to see the best in my boy!

‘I found Marjan at a point of desperation. I was in a very difficult situation with things not working out between our two resident rescue cats and unplanned little kitten. I was emotionally /physically exhausted and indecisive between keeping the little kitten or finding alternative arrangements and I have to admit, no pet owner should EVER have to go through that heartbreaking thought).  

Two weeks on, I am pleased to say, I could not have found a better cat behaviourist. Marjan was not only a great expert with exceptional insight to cat behaviour, she was also able to understand the turmoil I was in (A mourning human after her long term companion cats passing recently after 20 years and two other cats saying no to a tiny kitten). 

Marjan offered valuable suggestions and huge comfort during our session and followed it up, every step of the way. Our work continues but I am now more relaxed and confident.  Introducing a kitten to a pair of resident rescue cats is not always easy. All I can say is that this was one of the most challenging times of my life and it is much better because of Marjan’s dedicated approach. Every cat owner should have Marjan on a speed dial.

Marjan’s visit and recommendations have been transformative for our family.

Yorick has been happily spending time coming and going in and out of doors every day since we saw her and the inappropriate elimination, grumpiness and excessive miaowing all seemed to abate within days!  We can use our garden now without Yorick meowing his head off at us the whole time… 

We’ve implemented several of her recommendations, although we’ve needed to balance costs, so haven’t done all but the difference in Yorick’s demeanour is already huge.

I’d say by far the most significant thing was to stand with Marjan outside in our garden while Yorick first padded around the gardens – it helped us understand that there will be shrieking and hissing at times as he negotiates his territory, and not to panic when we hear it.  He seems to be holding his own out the back with the other animals – and is enjoying his freedom immensely.

I can genuinely say that Marjan’s help has been life changing for us.

We recently called Marjan due to our Arabian Mao cat’s behaviour – specifically excessive vocalisation and biting. We weren’t sure if a behaviourist would be able to make a difference but Marjan immediately put us as ease. She’s extremely knowledgeable in cat psychology. Marjan has empowered us with different strategies to use. We’ve seen a big improvement with our cat Jasmine and feel we understand her much better now. Highly recommended!

Gosh, I could kiss you for your recommendations Marjan ! Since Freddy is not screaming anymore when Charlie touches him, Emmy is all relaxed too (most of the time 😅).

I found a stray cat and bought her home and it really affected my existing bonded two cats. 

A friend contacted a behaviourist on my behalf and it didn’t go well. Very little advice on the dynamics.

I really needed help and found Marjan who really made a huge difference to the situation. 

I really had no understanding of what was going on between my cats from the first behaviourist but Marjan was so clear and really helpful in understanding the situation . 

Her explanations gave me more confidence in dealing with my cats and not reacting in certain ways to what they were doing and also explained what was normal cat behaviour and what was something to look out for.

She really took the time to observe and also fully explain what she was seeing between my cats. 

I don’t think I could have got to where I got with my cats without her help and advice. Happy to report they are friends again.
