Enjoyable, adaptable
Thank you so much for the fantastic way you presented the CatChats sessions and thank you for your adaptability and flexibility to present it to me at a convenient time.
I really enjoyed it and the times that my kids watched it together, they enjoyed it too, especially your videos and how you make your own cats part of the sessions.

Practical, instructive
Even though I have had cats all my life, I really learned a lot from you that I immediately started applying. The course is very well put together, very practical and instructive and I believe it covers all the important aspects you need to know as a new cat owner but it is also very instructive for experienced cat owners.
Not only did you apply your own experience and knowledge of cats, but I can see that you have done a lot of research on the topics too. You presented it very practically and you can see that you apply it with great love and compassion yourself.

5-Star rating
I know that someone who does not know cats or new cat owners will really benefit ALOT from your course and I can definitely recommend it.
If I had to give you a “rating” for the course, it would definitely have been a 5-star rating. Thank you again for your time and effort and love you have put into this. May you touch the lives of many more people and cats with your CatChats.

Oh my word!
I highly recommend Madre's course! Oh my word! I learnt so much for 2 hours on Zoom. So far this mamma of 3 cats is not doing too bad following my senses with regards my fur children!
So far Madre is happy with how I do things with L and T. Now....from today there are little things I will do to better it more and in no time they will truly be little brothers!

Exceed expectations
What an experience to cross my path with yours. I read about your cat coaching on the Kat Kaskenades Facebook group and contacted you immediately for coaching.
Exceeded my wildest expectations.
I was able to make my newcomer's adjustment so much easier as well as helping my resident cat kids "relax" with the techniques and coaching I received.
I would like to invite every person to "invest" in your coaching. Fantastic - I am informed and you are just a call away
Appreciate you every moment

A Gem
She is absolutely amazing! So fun in talking, laughing and sharing stories with her. She is not that expensive.
She asks only R100 for an our zoom meeting for 1 course!
I will share my update soon on the bliss of happy cats
I really encourage cat lovers to educate yourself more, it can only make your home more blissful! You are a Gem Madré

No aggression
There is absolutely no aggression. Thank you for everything. This was the quickest that acceptance was reached ever!

Peace and happiness
Speak to Madre from Cat Chats. She will help you with your issues.
I promise you, you won't regret it.
She helped me with L who bullied T when he arrived. And they are brothers now, grooming each other, playing. I'm sharing this because I applied small changes as Madre suggested and I am grateful for her help.
She is especially amazing with cats.
For the sake of peace and happiness in your home, so that no one is miserable!
Happy Feline, Happy Family
