“this young woman is passionate about her work”
Hello, I was away from home for 5 months after a glider accident, so I had to leave my two kittens, just a few months old, with foster families. Cats being real homebodies, they kept using the litter box for their droppings but peed on the floor (never on the furniture), which they never did at my place. When I came back, the same with the peeing, and Acajou, one of the two brothers, fell from my fourth-floor flat onto a roof. Badly injured, he was saved by the emergency vet clinic and then hospitalised. I had to secure one of my terraces, which is over 30 m2. Anyway, back to our cats. Of course, pee on the floor. The other terrace, the same size, the one he fell from, can also be reached from the living room and kitchen, but the door stays shut unless I’m out there. So I decided to call on a behaviourist. Her name is Fanny, and she founded her company, Fanimal. She specialises in cats, dogs and horses She is French but lives in the Netherlands. So she is very well set up for anything to do with video calls and can even, with your consent, record them to work on afterwards. She understood quickly and, after a 90-minute video call, gave me lots of advice. Move my litter boxes to 2 different spots, buy a very tall stainless steel one, which stops them from putting their Pacha litter […] Back to Fanny: she grasped the problem very quickly, has almost solved it, and still gives me ideas. Get 2 litter boxes even if they share Buy slow feeders such as lick mats, a maze bowl and a maze tower for treats and kibble. 2 hammocks that stick onto the French windows with suction cups A cat tree Never scold them: it’s pointless with an animal like a cat, because it stresses them out and… even more pee. But I never scold them anyway, nothing beats gentleness. Move or vary the places where they can eat; the mazes also keep them quite busy. A water fountain: they drink a little more, and I’m going to buy more places for them to drink. Scratching spots in different shapes, and several other ideas. One perfect trick: between our talks, she asked me to keep a daily log and to film the 2 troublemakers playing or mid-pee! She works from all of this, and through audio calls. You can feel that this young woman is passionate about her work and seems hugely committed. Go and look at her Fanimal website, it’s well made, with 3 prices that are honestly very good. In any case, she helped me a lot and convinced me how useful someone like her is for solving the problems we sometimes run into with our little furballs. I can promise you that her not being there in person is no problem at all. On the contrary, it means she has to be truly committed. Thank you Fanny Arnaud from Montpellier

“from the very first week, we already saw results!”
A huge thank you to Fanny! 🙏🐱 We reached out to her for our cat Cookie (12 years old) who had been peeing everywhere 🚽🐾 for almost his entire life. After trying everything without success, we no longer thought it would be possible to change things… Fanny offered us the most affordable package 💡 and, against all expectations, from the very first week, we already saw results! In just a month and a half to two months, the problem was completely resolved. She was attentive, gentle, and very caring with both of our cats, Cookie and Naya 🐾💕. Thanks to her clear advice and kind support, we were able to make the necessary changes together to improve their daily lives (and ours!). Today, no more bad smells, no more accidents, and above all, calmer, happier cats 🐱✨ A thousand thanks again, Fanny, for your invaluable help 🙌 Maëva, Adrien, Miguel, Cookie & Naya 🐾💖

“we went from 6 pees a day to 3 per week”
Fanny is very gentle and very professional ☺️. I contacted Fanny for a marking problem that one of my cats had for over 6 years. He had been doing it since the very beginning. With Fanny’s precious help and excellent advice, we went from 6 pees a day to 3 per week. That’s real progress 👏 I’m so glad she agreed to help us 🙏 and I continue to apply all her advice. A thousand thanks ☺️😻

“Twix is calm when I leave, no more need for the crate”
I recommend!! I was lost with my dog Twix, who couldn’t stand it at all when I left the house… He would destroy everything, and I had no other solution than to put him in a crate. On top of that, with all the changes in my life, I no longer knew how to manage things. Thanks to the support from Fanny, I understood what was going on and what I needed to do. The advice was concrete, non-judgemental, and adapted to what we were going through. With work, things are much better today!! Twix is calm when I leave, no more need for the crate, and the destruction is over. Thank you for everything!! Jeanne and Twix (who is napping next to me 😊)

“She is professional, attentive, and committed”
Hello, I contacted Fanny because my young one-year-old cat could not stop bothering my senior cat of 16, who didn’t stand a chance against this ball of muscle and energy. I had tried everything: pheromone diffusers, CBD for cats, separating them at the first sign of trouble… so I decided to call on a feline behaviourist. After a video introduction and explaining my situation, Fanny described the services she offers and directed me towards the one most appropriate for our case. I should point out that it was not the most expensive option. We had one online session during which she was able to observe my cats and ask me a series of questions. At the end of the meeting, she gave me a list of recommendations, which she later took the time to send me in writing. I haven’t yet been able to implement everything, but the few changes I have made have already started to improve the situation. She is professional, attentive, and committed. She also follows up, checking in and remaining available for any questions. I highly recommend her.

“Today, our two cats move freely throughout the entire house”
We turned to Fanny for help managing the cohabitation between our cat Nouga, adopted 7 years ago, and our new cat Minette, adopted a year ago. We had divided the house into two separate zones (one cat upstairs, one downstairs) to avoid the growling and swatting they inevitably exchanged whenever they crossed paths. Fanny supported us with great attentiveness, empathy, and absolutely no judgement, helping us understand the dynamics not only between the two cats, but also between them and us, through our own reactions and emotions. She helped us put in place plenty of small strategies to change interactions and improve how each one felt in the situation. Today, our two cats move freely throughout the entire house and communicate in their own way. We feel more at ease and also know how to help each of them find her place. We still have work to do and patience to cultivate so that Minette can become less fearful and less on edge. But we know she’s on the right track. And that we can count on Fanny if we run into new obstacles. Thank you to Fanny for her attentiveness, her advice, her gentleness, her encouragement, and her smile. We 100% recommend her.

“our cats are completely relaxed, they play together”
We contacted Fanny when my partner moved in. He also has a cat (a 4-year-old male). Our two furballs did not get along at all. Mine, a 1.5-year-old female, would constantly attack him and confine him to one room. Fanny guided us through this life transition with a thorough initial video call to understand the current situation, our cats’ histories, and the end goal. For us, that goal was very clear: each of our two cats having their own place in the house, being able to move freely, stopping the out-of-litter peeing, and accepting each other’s presence in the same room. Through four online calls of 30 to 45 minutes, spaced out depending on the progress made, we advanced at our own pace (both us and our cats). Today, our cats are completely relaxed, they play together, and each has found their place. It’s a real success, a relief for all of us. Fanny will listen to you, and help you progress at your own pace and your pet’s. Thank you, Fanny!

“Now, everything seems so simple”
For a long time, everything in the house was organised so that Babou (my beloved cat) and Croquette 😻 (Marjolaine’s cat) would never meet again!!! Babou the terrible relentlessly hunted sweet Croquette, to severely punish her for misdeeds we knew nothing about… except, we imagined, maybe out of jealousy, since Croquette only came to the house during school holidays. We were all very unhappy about this, and even a little stressed at times because of the cumbersome arrangements we had to make and the painful injuries Croquette suffered. Then things changed! Croquette was going to live full-time… at Babou’s house. Full-time? Help, Fanny… After an in-depth conversation with Fanny about each cat’s place in the family and detailed questions about the conflict, we were able to identify strategies for resolving it. Now, everything seems so simple… Why didn’t we think of it ourselves? Probably due to a lack of perspective, courage, or analysis. IN SHORT, IT’S A REAL PROFESSION. Thank you very much.

“I feel I now understand my little cat better”
I had never had a cat before and needed guidance to understand and respond appropriately to my very young Lulue, who had not been weaned. Fanny was very clear and available. She gave me advice that proved very useful and that I wouldn’t necessarily have found on the internet. I feel I now understand my little cat better, and that she can move in the right direction thanks to Fanny.

“It was the best decision we could have made”
We are delighted that Fanny took care of Yenka, our 16-year-old dog. It was the best decision we could have made; she could no longer bear to be alone. Fanny is very friendly, and we now have peace of mind knowing that she has company and is well looked after. 100% recommended!
