Our Goal

At Fundamentally Feline the focus is to address all aspects of a cat's behavior that can be improved upon to help both cats and humans live more harmoniously together. Client education is the foundation of these consultations. We offer consults for cat behavior problems all over the world. Video submission of the home environment will be requested to help assess the space and environmental resources being offered. Additionally, medicating consultations are also available to help clients overcome, or get ahead of, medicating challenges. These consults are offered live via Zoom. Helping clients better understand their cats, what they need, and how to best provide for those needs, makes for a happier cat and a better educated pet parent.

What people say about us

Athena Pickles! What a pickle!

Ingrid was attentive, responsive, empathetic, incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, especially during the moments when we felt overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. We are so grateful that we found Ingrid! She not only helped us better understand Athena but gave us the tools and confidence to care for her through a challenging time. We couldn’t be more grateful for Ingrid’s patience, expertise and genuine compassion for both Athena and us. Read more “Athena Pickles! What a pickle!”

Problem(s) Solved:urination and defecation outside the box, learning to medicate positively

Ivy Takes a Turn but Comes Back to Us!

A friend recommended Ingrid and our entire situation turned around. We learned so many things we were accidentally doing that were creating frustration for Ivy. We also learned so many positive changes to implement moving forward. Knowledge has really been power in this situation. Ingrid has been a cheerleader alongside our journey to bring Ivy home and is always responsive with my many questions. Read more “Ivy Takes a Turn but Comes Back to Us!”

Graymalk gets a friend!

Problem(s) Solved:Integrating cats into the household together

Graymalk’s “grey areas” come to light!

Previously our cat had stress-induced cystitis and we needed help to make sure the months’ long renovation would be as stress-free and cystitis-free as possible. We had worked with another behavioralist a few months prior but were left needing much more support and applicable advice, and I was even more thorough and cautious about who to work with next. Ingrid fit the bill! She is a rare blend of no nonsense, deep deep knowledge, and truly empathetic to an array of kitty-human needs. Read more “Graymalk’s “grey areas” come to light!”

Problem(s) Solved:Anxiety, phobias, stress induced "sickness behaviors"

The not so neutered, Nevi!

I had a very good experience with Ingrid! If it weren’t for that push by Ingrid, I never would have thought to check that! I also want to mention that
throughout this ordeal, but before and after we knew exactly what the problem was, Ingrid always responded promptly to my requests for help or just a shoulder to lean on. It was good to have someone who cared in my corner.

Newly adopted senior resident with elimination challenges

Because of Ingrid, I now have a happy cat home! I highly recommend investing in Ingrid to help build or improve your relationship with your feline fur baby. Truly some of the best money I could imagine spending on my babies. I’m forever grateful I found Ingrid and followed her instructions!

Problem(s) Solved:elimination outside the litter box

Rags and Flees!

We heard about Ingrid and set up the conference. We listened to her sage advice and followed her instructions. We learned a lot of what the cats were trying to tell us in their not-so-subtle ways. Voila, the work we did with Ingrid and the changes we made, made a huge difference in the quality of life for us, but best of all our boys. Read more “Rags and Flees!”

Problem(s) Solved:Intercat aggression and elimination outside the box

A senior lady and a little gentleman!

All the consultation has been done remotely, and it has been a truly spectacular experience. With all the resources at our disposal, as well as her conversational availability, I was able to get a much better handle on my little boy’s manic energy! Ingrid also allowed me to be a much better advocate for Luna at her vet. I sincerely can’t thank Ingrid enough for all her patience, care and compassion!

Peeing, itching and fighting!

I have had cats all my life and considered myself pretty knowledgeable about cat behavior. I have been working with Ingrid for over a year now. Ingrid has been there for our cats through every change in our household, helping the cats adjust especially after the loss of our amazing Dobby cat. Our cats are now doing great. Ingrid helped me understand their needs so much better than I truly ever thought was possible. They bring us so much joy and when you have concerns about their behavior don’t give up on them. Ingrid will help you work through your issues step by step. Read more “Peeing, itching and fighting!”
