I was making a second attempt to move my 16 year old outdoor cat, Bear, indoors. Upon her arrival to my condo, I rolled up all the area rugs and carpets and put my ottoman on top of the chair to prevent her from urinating on anything I didn't want ruined.
To my dismay, I saw the same behavior as before no matter what arrangements I made for her in my home.
I called Marilyn as a last ditch effort. Marilyn had suggested I take Bear into the vet to make sure she wasn't dealing with any medical challenges. She came out with a clean bill of health, but I did not leave the vets office before venting my frustration over her behavior.
The vet then proceeded to have a talk with me about putting her to sleep.
Bear's last chance was literally riding on the help I would get from Marilyn. She came over and gave me a number of recommendations. I picked the ones that I thought would give me and the cats the greatest benefit without completely compromising my living situation.
As it turned out, Marilyn gave me just the right recommendations.
My boyfriend and I now enjoy the company of two beautiful cats. I now have two well behaved cats and we both enjoy Bear's company whether she is greeting us when we come home or when she jumps on our laps while we are watching TV.
Such a big difference from her arrival when she hid under the bed, hissed and drew blood almost anytime anyone other than me pet her.
I'm so grateful for the help that Marilyn offered. It's priceless to have a home with two cats that I've had for over 16 years finally able to live together in peace.

Well, it has been a while since the behavioral training phone call and I just wanted to give you an update on Iodine. I talked to my mother-in-law and Iodine is doing great. She is sleeping with them at night, traveling better, eating and using her litter box and playing with the other cat.
Even her howling has decreased. They are really enjoying her companionship in the house and she is fitting in nicely with them. I am not sure which of the tips did the trick, but we did them all. One or all of them worked.
Thanks again for the advice and support. We really appreciate it!

Marilyn helped save our family. Our male cat Ricky attacked our female cat Lucy multiple times because he
was scared after moving from Folsom to the bay area. After the last attack, Lucy would hiss at Ricky
whenever she saw him so we had to keep them separated. We were afraid that we would have to give one of the
cats away if they could not live together peacefully anymore. We saw Marilyn's card at a pet store and
decided to ask her for help. Marilyn came over to meet the cats and provided us with a detailed behavior
modification plan. We followed each step of the plan and the cats responded really well. After some time,
the Ricky and Lucy were able to be in the same room again without any negative consequences. Marilyn
called us weekly to check in and was always willing to help through email as well. We have since moved to a
house and Marilyn also helped us through this move.
Ricky and Lucy are now back to the happy cats that they were before we moved from Folsom. We are so
grateful for everything that Marilyn taught us and the support that she provided. We thought that we were
good cat parents before, but now we know the best ways to help Ricky and Lucy. We now better understand the
signs of aggression, fear and happiness in the cats.
Thank you Marilyn for everything! We could not have made it through this without you! We would highly
recommend you to anyone having behavior issues with their cat(s).
