Ever think, “Why is my cat peeing on the bed?” (Or couch or somewhere similar?) Here’s how to identify the reasons behind a cat peeing on the bed.
Marilyn Krieger
Marilyn Krieger’s world is cats. She is a certified cat behavior consultant (The Cat Coach, LLC) who solves cat behavior problems through on site and phone/Skype consultations. She also writes and gives talks about cats. Her goal is to save lives by changing inaccurate assumptions and beliefs about cats and their behaviors. The misconception that cat behaviors cannot be changed often leads to heartbreak—cats surrendered to shelters or euthanized for fixable behavior challenges.
Marilyn also enjoys writing about cats. Her award-winning book Naughty No More! focuses on changing unwanted behaviors through clicker training, environmental management and other force-free methods. You may have also read her monthly and weekly behavior columns in Cat Fancy Magazine and on catchannel.com. She doesn’t write alone. In addition to being the inspirations for her book and columns, Marilyn’s cats help her write by adding their own special keyboard touches.
In addition to writing and solving cat behavior challenges, Marilyn frequently guests on TV and radio providing insights about cats and cat behavior.
