Why Kayla?

I have lived and breathed "all things cats” since 1999 when I adopted my first cats. It wasn’t until 2022 when I was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder that realized cats were my special interest, also called a “hyper-focus”.

Having an autistic hyper-focus in cats has proven to be a powerful asset when it comes to understanding feline behavior. This deep, sustained focus allows for intense observation, pattern recognition, and attention to subtle details that others might overlook—like shifts in body language, micro-expressions, or changes in routine.

Rather than getting bored or distracted, with this kind of focus I have spent years of my life learning, researching, and connecting with cats on their own terms.

It’s not just passion—it’s precision.

  • I was five years old when I adopted my first cats. Since then, I have never lived in a house without them. I know cats better than I know humans.

  • My “Pawtistic” perspective of different situations often leads to insights and intuitive understanding that can make a real difference in helping both cats and their humans thrive together.

  • Instead of forcing behavior to change through punishment or control. I use your cat’s natural instincts, preferences, and developmental needs to create a happier home for everyone.
