Dr. Mikel Maria Delgado, Cat Behaviorist

Mikel and her business partner work on feline behavior cases, most of which, Mikel tells us, are due to an under-stimulating environment. She explains that if you don’t replace those outdoor experiences with something else stimulating, it will lead to behavior problems. She is also conducting fascinating research on cats—all of it either on pet cats in their homes or on foster kittens in the pre-existing UC Davis neonatal kitten foster program. (In other words, there are no lab cats here!)
