LeeAnna Buis has adored cats her entire life and thought she knew them inside out and sideways. But it wasn’t until she worked with a feline behavior consultant that she fully understood how incredible, complicated, and inspiring cats really are. She made a career change, starting the certification process to become a behavior consultant right away. The more she learned, the more she realized how truly misunderstood cats were in our society. She discovered what unique, fascinating, complex creatures they were and how much she'd been denying her own cats what they needed to live fulfilling cat lives. She knew this was what she wanted to do with her life – help others on a similar journey to truly knowing, loving, and appreciating their cats.

LeeAnna earned her certification through Animal Behavior Institute, earning the CFTBS designation. She is a certified Fear Free trainer, a training professional member of the Pet Professional Guild (PPG), and a member of both the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC) and Cat Writer’s Association (CWA).
