What is behavioural therapy for cats?

My cat soiled the bed regularly and had to be banished from the bedroom. Esmerij responded very quickly en efficiently, helped to determine the cause and gave me practical tips. There hasn’t been a single accident since and both cats can sleep on the bed with me again!
