# Cattitude Adjustment > Cattitude Adjustment is the practice of Kristiina Wilson, MA, CCBC, a certified cat behavior consultant who has worked with domestic cats for over 20 years and has fostered, socialized and rehomed more than 400 of them. She helps cat guardians worldwide resolve inter-cat aggression, litter box problems, anxiety, destructive behavior and other feline behavior issues through virtual, science-based consultations. All consultations are held remotely via Zoom, so clients can be located anywhere. Each is built on a detailed behavior history reviewed in advance, and clients receive a written summary, a tailored treatment plan, a session recording and transcript, and peer-reviewed sources relevant to their case. Kristiina hosts the Hiss & Tell podcast and has been featured in People, The Dodo, Chewy, The Wildest, Modern Cat and El País. ## Start here - [Start Here](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/start): The most common reasons people reach out, and how to work out which kind of support fits a given situation. - [Do I need a cat behaviorist?](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/blog/do-i-need-a-cat-behaviorist): What a cat behaviorist actually does, which problems they resolve, and how to tell when it is time to get help. - [Services and pricing](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/services): What to expect from a consultation, the three levels of support available, and current pricing. - [Book a consultation](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/book-a-consultation): Booking page for virtual cat behavior consultations. - [About Kristiina Wilson](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/about-kristiina-wilson-cat-behaviorist): Credentials, background and approach. - [Testimonials](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/testimonials): Client accounts of the behavior problems they faced and the outcomes they reached. ## Areas of practice - [Inter-cat and general aggression](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/services/aggression): Cats who fight, stalk, bully or show redirected aggression toward other cats or people. - [Stress and aggressive behavior](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/services/stress-aggressive-behaviors): Aggression rooted in stress, whether it appeared suddenly or has persisted. - [Litter box issues](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/services/litterbox-issues): Cats who will not use the litter box, one of the most common reasons clients get in touch. - [Inappropriate toileting](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/services/inappropriate-toileting): The medical, stress-related and environmental causes behind toileting outside the box. - [Compulsive and destructive behavior](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/services/compulsive-destructive-behavior): Over-grooming, overeating and repetitive behaviors beyond ordinary feline habits. - [Intellectual stimulation](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/services/intellectual-stimulation): Enrichment strategies that support a cat's overall well-being. - [Moving with cats and new pet introductions](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/services/cat-moving-issues): Helping cats, kittens, dogs and people adjust to a new home or family member. - [Cat proofing your home](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/services/cat-proofing-home): Creating a safe environment for cats of any age. - [Socializing kittens and feral cats](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/services/socializing-kittens-feral-cats): Socialization work for kittens and feral cats. - [Neonate bottle feeding and care](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/services/neonate-bottle-feeding-care): Intensive care and bottle feeding for newborn kittens. - [Speech button training](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/services/speech-button-training): Speech buttons as enrichment and as a way to communicate with a cat. ## Cat conflict and aggression - [Why cats fight: inter-cat aggression](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/blog/why-are-my-cats-suddenly-fighting-causes-of-inter-cat-aggression-and-what-to-do): The most common causes of cats fighting suddenly, and what to do about them. - [Are my cats playing or fighting?](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/blog/are-my-cats-playing-or-fighting-how-to-tell-the-difference-signs-of-healthy-play-vs-aggression): The body language, sounds and warning signs that distinguish healthy play from real conflict. - [Why is my cat bullying my other cat?](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/blog/why-is-my-cat-bullying-my-other-cat-understanding-cat-to-cat-aggression): Why apparent bullying often stems from insecurity, fear or pain rather than dominance. - [What 15 cats taught me about multi-cat conflict](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/blog/what-my-15-cats-taught-me-about-multi-cat-conflict-and-how-to-actually-start-fixing-it): Treating conflict in a multi-cat home as a system rather than one problem cat. - [Who is the "top cat" in your home?](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/blog/who-is-the-top-cat-in-your-home): How hierarchy actually works among domestic cats living together. - [Introducing a new cat to your pets](https://www.cattitude-adjustment.com/blog/introducing-a-new-cat-to-your-pets): A separation and introduction protocol that avoids setting up long-term conflict. ## Stress, anxiety and everyday behavior - [Is my cat anxious?
