Helping Cats and Their People Live Their Best Lives Together

Who is Purrsuaison?

Purrsuasion is my unique, one-of-a-kind, vet-recommended cat behaviour consulting and training business based in Regina, Saskatchewan. Thanks to the virtual world, I’ve been able to help kitties and their families all across North America and further! I’m Tori Schlosser - an experienced cat trainer, Métis woman, and dedicated cat advocate - and I proudly own and run Purrsuasion.

What do I do?

My goal is to help cat guardians, like yourself, improve your cat’s concerning behaviours while also helping you understand and appreciate your kitty’s quirks. I work to rebuild and strengthen your relationship with your cat so you can both live your best lives together.

My primary focus is behaviour consultations, where you and I work as a team to help transform your cat’s undesirable behaviours into positive and fulfilling ones - with a special interest in supporting cat-to-cat relationships and improving cat-conflict. I also offer clicker training for cats to boost confidence, strengthen your shared bond, and add everyday fun to both of your lives.

How do I do it?

I start by helping you understand the “why” behind your cat’s behaviours. Together, we look at their core needs and instincts to see what might be missing or could benefit from a healthy change. From there, we create a plan that works for your life - one that’s realistic, achievable, and feels doable for both you and your cat. That plan uses fear-free, positive-reinforcement techniques, along with practical environmental and mental enrichment, and clicker training, all designed to meet your cat’s needs and bring more harmony to your home.

Tori has been amazing! We went from having 2 cats that hissed at each other constantly to having a pair of besties that play all the time and sleep together on the cozy blanket. It took a few months but Tori's feedback assured us we were making progress. Tori gave us such good advice and was detailed in her instructions for how to introduce them that we couldn't fail. She is happy to answer questions along the way and is full of encouragement. As a bonus, the clicker training that was a big part of the introduction process has given us a great way to stimulate the cats intellect and impress our friends with the tricks they can do! Definitely recommend Tori's services! Just hire her; you won't regret it. 😻

We approached Tori when our older cat was attacking our younger cat after we moved. This was causing our youngest to have feline idiopathic cystitis flare ups almost weekly. Since working with Tori and utilizing the skills she taught us (clicker training, touch, redirection, enrichment) our younger cat has grown in her confidence. We are now able to redirect our older cat when he is getting amped up and wanting to attack our younger cat. Tori has provided us with so many tools and skills to keep our babies happy and co-existing. We couldn’t be more thankful for her help. Highly recommend working with Tori, she is so kind and knowledgeable.

Tori is the best!! I tried for 4 months to get my two pairs of kitties together with no success. After her consultation, I have been able to use the techniques she taught me to bring them together! Since working with Tori, we've been able to slowly help them build their confidence as well as their relationships with each other. She teaches you how to use clicker training and enrichment activities to bring out your cats confidence and personality, as well as how to interpret their behavior more accurately. Most importantly, she approaches everything with a problem-solving attitude and empathy, encouraging cat parents through every moment. She's an expert, and if you put your trust in her, you and your cats will 100 percent benefit and enjoy your lives together even more.

Tori was such a delight to consult with. She is very knowledgeable and gave us so many helpful hints and information that have proven very valuable in training our kitten, Luna. One thing in particular that I will mention is her tips on how to get Luna to let me brush her teeth. I had received tips from the vet on how to get her to cooperate but nothing worked. Then Tori came to the rescue and her suggestions worked perfectly. Thanks so much Tori for all your valuable help. I'm so glad we found you.

Our cat, Rudy, has a scenting problem. He constantly pees everywhere in our house, and every time we thought we had it cleaned, he would do it again. Tori came in and gave us very helpful advice and plenty of options that we would’ve never even thought of trying. She was friendly, honest, and always checked in to see how things were going afterwards. Thanks, Tori! 😊👍🏼
