About me

Allow me to introduce

My name is Shireen Mohrmann- Suudi.
When I was asked as a child what I wanted to do "when I grow up", the answer always came the same. Something with animals. The love and compassion for animals was there from a very early age. However, like most of us, my life and career did not run in a straight line. I have had many different jobs and training courses. All very fun and educational, for that time in my life I was in at the time. At one point, I decided to play it safe and did several courses in automation and ICT. I was completely at home in hardware and software. I enjoyed doing this work for many years.
Until I started wondering whether this was what I really wanted to do until my retirement. The honest answer was: no. But what then? And then, after all this time, I ended up back where I started: animals. I retrained and completed my Paraveterinary training. I enjoyed this work immensely, but even during my internship and then my work as a Paraveterinarian, I noticed that cat owners often came to the veterinary practice with cats showing problem behaviour. Despite the fact that I did not then possess the knowledge about cat behaviour that I do now, after my training, I did notice that there is a lot of ignorance about cat behaviour among mostly well-meaning owners. I decided then that after completing my Paraveterinary training, I would continue my training to become a Cat Behaviour Therapist. And so it happened. I joined the Tinley Academy and completed the Cat Behaviour Therapist course. My goal is to help cat owners understand their beloved four-legged friend. Cats, unfortunately, are so often misunderstood. And not because of owners' unwillingness, but simply because no one can know everything. Looking back on my own history as a cat owner, I now realise that I too have made mistakes with the cats that have been in my life over the years. Simply because I didn't know any better. I tried to do the best, but didn't always. Now I know better. And I can help others understand their cat(s) better. And I love doing that: an understood cat is a happy cat.
And a happy cat is a problem-free cat.
