I must first thank my husband, Scott, for his unending amount of patience and support. Being the spouse of a writer isn’t easy. Being the spouse of a cat behavior consultant isn’t easy. Being the spouse of a writer who is also a cat behavior consultant certainly takes a very special person. My husband is that special person.
Thank you to my agent, Linda Roghaar, who always provides the motivation, support, and guidance needed. You are a writer’s dream.
Thank you to my editor, Clifford Corcoran, and my family at Penguin, for your ongoing support and belief in what I do.
Thanks to Ellen Pryor for years of incredible PR work and even more years as a cherished friend.
I have had so many wonderful clients over the years. Thank you for putting your trust in me. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know all of you and hope I have contributed to improving the lives of your cats.
The International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants is an organization that has a very special place in my heart. The animal kingdom is very fortunate to have Lynn Hoover, the founder and president of the IAABC, as a best friend. Lynn, you are an inspiration to so many people and it’s an honor to work with you.
A special thank-you to Marilyn Krieger for your dedication to this profession and assistance in the cat division of the IAABC, and for your friendship.
Thank you to Mark Waldrop, DVM. If you ever move, I’ll have to follow you, as will most of Nashville’s residents.
Thank you to all the veterinarians I work with on a daily basis. I am in awe of the dedication, endless hard work, and compassion you show each of your clients. I deeply appreciate the trust you have in me to take care of the behavior problems your clients have with their cats.
Thank you to my assistant, Renee.
