TV cat behaviourist becomes 'Agony Aunt' for feline lovers

 

When your cat knocks everything off the counter at 3am, refuses to use the litter box, or stares at the wall for hours, who do you turn to? Enter Amanda Campion, the UK's leading clinical cat behaviourist, who has launched 'Ask Amanda' – a weekly online segment designed to be the ultimate agony aunt for cats and their devoted owners.

 

With an impressive social media following of 106,000 on TikTok and 32,000 on Instagram, Amanda has proven there's a hungry audience for expert cat behaviour advice delivered with warmth, humour and scientific insight. Now, she's taking that expertise to the next level.

 

Each week, Amanda handpicks questions from viewer submissions, ranging from the hilariously quirky to the genuinely perplexing and delivers expert analysis, practical solutions and eye-opening insights into the enigmatic world of cat behaviour. Whether it's understanding why your cat brings you "gifts" at dawn or how to introduce a new kitten to a territorial older cat, Amanda tackles it all with her signature compassionate approach.

 

"Cats are endlessly fascinating creatures, and every behaviour tells a story," says Campion. "Through 'Ask Amanda,' I want to help cat owners decode those stories and build stronger, happier relationships with their feline companions."

 

Amanda's credibility was further cemented earlier this year when she appeared on David Baddiel's critically acclaimed Channel 4 series “Cat Man”, discussing feline behaviour alongside the comedian and an array of special guests. "Ask Amanda" builds on that momentum, making her expertise accessible to cat lovers across the UK and beyond.

 

Cat owners are invited to submit their burning questions via short video recordings. For an added chance to be featured, participants can include clips of their cats in action.

 

Amanda hosts a special Instagram Live event, "Cats In The City," joined by internet sensations Lupin and Rajah from @LupinInLondon the famous "tube cats" alongside their owners, London couple Jacques and Jerome. This live Q&A on April 27th at 7:30 PM will explore urban cat ownership, travel training and the bond between adventurous felines and their humans. Save the date and bring your questions.
