Best-Selling Author & Leading Cat Behavior Expert
Pam Johnson-Bennett, CCBC-Ret., is a best-selling author and pioneer in feline behavior consulting. Her groundbreaking work helped shape the field, and her books are widely used by veterinarians, shelters, and professionals around the world.
Her classic, Think Like a Cat, is considered the go-to guide on feline behavior—often called “the cat bible.” CatWise answers the most common behavior questions and is used in shelter hotlines and training programs. Cat vs. Cat was the first book to tackle the complexities of multi-cat households.
Pam began consulting in 1982, setting the standard for modern cat behavior practices. She hosted Psycho Kitty on Animal Planet UK, has appeared on numerous national TV and radio shows, and currently serves as the spokesperson for Arm & Hammer’s Feline Generous program, which promotes the adoption of overlooked shelter cats.
A retired IAABC-certified consultant, Pam founded and chaired the Cat Division of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants and served as its vice president. She’s advised organizations like the American Humane Association and contributed award-winning columns to major outlets, including Yahoo, Cat Fancy, and ivillage.
Pam has led national media tours, including Friskies’ Ultimate Cat Habitat campaign—the first to spotlight feline environmental enrichment. She also helped launch the first cageless cat shelter in the U.S. and served as Friskies’ lead behavior expert and columnist for many years.
Her accolades include the Winn Feline Foundation Media Award, Cat Fancy Hall of Fame Award, IAABC award, and multiple honors from the Cat Writers’ Association.
