Marci Koski
Marci Koski fell in love with cats as a toddler and never looked back, even leaving a career as an endangered species biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to start her own cat behavior consulting service, Feline Behavior Solutions in 2014. Since then, Marci has been helping people resolve their cat behavior issues by teaching people “how to cat” — namely, how to give their cat the resources and environments they need to thrive with their human companions.
Marci has a PhD in Fishery and Wildlife Biology, and earned her specialized and advanced Feline Training and Behavior certifications through the Animal Behavior Institute.
