Ingrid owns and operates Fundamentally Feline and provides behavior consultations worldwide for clients experiencing behavior challenges with their cat(s). In addition to behavior consults, Ingrid publishes educational content on her website, manages Facebook, Twitter, You Tube and Instagram pages, makes her own line of feline foraging toys, scratching posts, vertical space, and litter boxes. She lectures nationwide on cat behavior at veterinary conferences such as AAFP, VMX, ACVC and the like. She is employed at Paws Whiskers and Claws, a feline only veterinary hospital, as a tech, groomer, and office manager and has been working exclusively with cats since 1999.
In the Fall of 2016 a paper she co-authored, Food puzzles for cats: Feeding for physical and emotional well-being, was published in the JFMS (Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery) and to compliment it she co-developed a website called FoodPuzzlesforCats.com. To date it is the most popular and widely downloaded paper in the history of the journal! Ingrid’s home, cats, and environmental enrichment expertise has been featured on Animal Planet’s Cats101 show. She filmed for the website WebMD and has created a series of educational How-To videos of her own, viewable on Fundamentally Feline’s website. She is Co-Director of Paw Project-Georgia, working towards ending the cruel practice of de-clawing cats.
Cat Fancy magazine’s 2008 “Home Issue” showcased her feline friendly accommodations and the aesthetically pleasing ways you can provide for your cats innate basic needs while still having a home the humans can enjoy. Ingrid is a huge advocate for enrichment and is determined to thwart the belief that one’s home will look unsightly in efforts to provide it.
Ingrid shares her home with husband, Jake, six rescue cats, and Sebastian, a rescued Great Pyrenees Dog.

Animal welfare week - dogs and frustration
Rebecca said:
I have always loved animals and started my first pet sitting business at my parents hotel when I was 8. Since then, I've worked in various animal businesses and spent the last 6 years doing animal based courses, with my last one being a masters in clinical animal behaviour at Lincoln. The reason I've decided to go into this industry is because of my current dog, my staffy, Dug. We rescued him from a puppy farm and since then he has been fear aggressive with other dogs. I've always wanted to learn more about his behaviour and how to help him and I found it fascinating! He's now a lot better. We still have a lot of progress to make but the bond I've created with him is amazing. If I can help other dog and cat owners learn to understand their pets and create that bond, I would be very happy!
