Welcome to Cat Wonder
At Cat Wonder, we believe every cat owner deserves to understand what's really going on inside their cat's head. Whether your cat is scratching the furniture, refusing the litter tray, hissing at guests, or just acting in ways that leave you puzzled — we're here to help you make sense of it, using science, not guesswork.
Who We Are
Cat Wonder is written by Celia Haddon MA, BSc, MSc — an author, journalist, and cat behaviour expert with over 45 published books to her name, including Being Your Cat, One Hundred Ways for a Cat to Train its Human, A Cat's Guide to Humans, Cats Behaving Badly, and Love, Death and Cats. A full list of her books is available on Wikipedia.
Celia holds a BA in English Literature from Cambridge, a BSc in Animal Behaviour, and an MSc in Clinical Animal Behaviour. She is a member of the Centre for Applied Pet Ethology and a provisional member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors. She writes a cat care column for Your Cat Magazine and contributes articles and book reviews to national newspapers and magazines.
Our website, cat-wonder.com, was built to bring that same depth of knowledge to every cat owner — whether you've just adopted your first kitten or you've lived with cats your whole life.
What We Cover
We publish in-depth, easy-to-follow content on topics like:
- Cat behaviour and body language
- Litter tray problems and solutions
- Scratching, biting, and other "naughty" habits
- Multi-cat household dynamics
- Cat emotions, stress, and wellbeing
- Training and enrichment
- When to seek professional behaviour counselling
No confusing jargon. No unnecessary fluff. Just clear, science-based guidance you can actually use.
Our Philosophy
Cats are often misunderstood — labelled as aloof, stubborn, or "just being difficult" when in reality most behaviour has a clear, explainable cause. That's exactly what we're here to teach you: how to read your cat's behaviour, understand the reasons behind it, and respond in a way that works for both of you.
We take a science-based approach to everything we publish, grounded in cat ethology, ontogeny, and behavioural research rather than myths or outdated advice. If a behaviour issue is beyond the scope of a blog article, we'll always tell you so and point you toward proper support.
Why Trust Us?
- Written by a qualified cat behaviour expert with decades of published work
- Grounded in science, not internet myths
- Practical, real-world advice you can apply straightaway
- Honest about the limits of DIY advice — we'll tell you when to seek professional help

Beyond the Blog
Celia also gives talks on cat ethology, ontogeny, emotions, and behaviour problems — including a free talk for veterinary staff (by donation to local cat rescue) and a free talk, In Defence of Cats, for conservation organisations. She is available for press interviews at short notice.
For those needing one-on-one support, Celia offers cat behaviour counselling on vet referral only, working within a 30-mile radius of Witney, Oxfordshire.
