The Kitten/Cat Manual

The Kitten Manual is a pdf document. The PRINT-ONLY version is 45 pages long. It is a comprehensive, up-to-date manual that gives your clients all the information they need to know! (It can be called The Cat Manual if you mainly work with adult cats.)  

It contains sections on:

• Reading kitten body language (and being able to detect early signs of anxiety or discomfort)

• Socialisation (how this should be approached – not just ‘exposure’ but monitoring closely to ensure positive experiences)

• Appropriate training methods (what is positive reinforcement, why we use it, and how to teach kittens)

• Troubleshooting (common kitten behaviour problems and what to do about them)

It also discusses health care, carrier training, handling, how to use a reward marker, and setting kittens up for success.

The Kitten Manual is tailored to you and your business. We will start by adding your logo and business details and then the choice is yours. You can use your base document immediately as is, or read through and request changes. Teach carrier training differently? We can change it. We can change spellings and local expressions for international audiences, we can change logos or pictures, remove or add more information.... we make it all yours. Then you are ready to share your very own Kitten Manual with your clients! (Hooray!)

PLEASE NOTE: The Kitten/Cat Manual may be purchased either as a PRINT-ONLY version, or as an EXTENDED LICENSE version that contains two separately formatted pdfs, allowing print and/or digital distribution.

Please download the sample chapter and email Dr Jen if you have any questions, or to discuss which product best suits your needs, prior to purchase.

Tailoring

All written materials are TAILORED to your business. That means you can read through and request any edits and I will make them for you (with the exception of recommending any methods which rely on force, fear, or pain, or that are otherwise unsupported by science or ethics). This tailoring process means that your written material suits you and your business perfectly.

The Standard License version, is for printing and handing out to clients. Ongoing permission to distribute printed versions of the entire manual to your clients, or print off individual pages to use as behaviour handouts.

The Extended license version provides you with the same Standard license printable pdf, PLUS a pdf especially designed for digital distribution. This allows you to share the pdf electronically to individual clients (i.e. by email, private link, or dropbox invitation). (You may not post the Manual anywhere that it is accessible to the general public.)

The Extended License mobile friendly version has larger font size for reading on mobile devices. It contains hyperlinks to suggested books, YouTube videos and helpful websites. Naturally, this can include links to your website for various information specific to your business. The Manual mobile-friendly versions also contain navigation links, so people can find information fast. 

ADVANTAGES OF THE EXTENDED LICENSE

All the great points of the Standard License, PLUS:

Send out the document as soon as a client has paid for enrolment (they don’t have to wait for your first session to receive all the good advice).

Some clients are more likely to read a document if it’s available on their device. Some are more likely to read printed documents. Make both options available and ensure to ensure more people read all the great advice.

Save time and money by not having to print and collate.

Save trees 😊

The manual looks fancier in colour!

You can upgrade a Standard License to the Extended License version later, however it is more cost effective to buy it upfront.

 Pet Perspective products are designed exclusively for pet professionals who have their own brick-and-mortar business with a direct clientele.

If you operate an online-only business, a business-to-business model, a chain, or a corporate organisation, please contact me directly to discuss how pricing and licensing arrangements might apply.
