What to Expect

Cats are very sensitive and routine-oriented creatures, and most are going to feel some degree of anxiety when a stranger enters their home- especially when that stranger approaches and starts messing with them!  My goal at Comfy Claws is to provide the services your cat needs in a way that minimizes this anxiety.  The methods I use to achieve this are going to be slightly different for every cat, because cats are individuals with their own preferences and each cat is going to respond a little differently to this experience.  

​

Here is how you can expect me to interact with your cat when I first enter your home:

​

• I will approach your cat slowly, speaking in a soft, endearing voice (most likely commenting on how beautiful and/or handsome they are!).

• I will get on eye level with your cat- if they're on the floor, I'll get on the floor with them; if they're in the window, I'll crouch down and meet them there; if they're up high in a cat tree, I'll get as high up on my tippy toes as I can to greet them!

• I will keep my distance at first and give them a chance to approach me on their own, likely offering treats and/or their favorite toys to entice, distract, and try to put them at ease.  

• I will read their body language cues
