**Newsflash! Popular "Fur-apist" Exposed!**
Popular vlogger and pet therapist Emerson Fitz Thyme Porter has faced massive backlash over recordings that have emerged of her cat refusing to interact with her or even stare at her disdainfully. The popular cat's representative says that he won't even stay in the same house!

"I just don't get it," he says with a sniff and a shake of the head. "He was doing just fine last week. I take him for walks in his little artisan-made leather harness, and I play with him with his fair-trade cat toys. He eats higher quality food than me. Sure he refused to lift his paw for the bracelet. And sure he's tore up the sailor hat I tried to put on him. And don't get me started on his temper tantrum when I tried to get him to stay still for the glasses fitting. But he was fine before! I just don't get it! What does he want from me?!"

It's hard to take him seriously, though. He looks so cute in his little sweater!

This so-called "Fur-apist" just made everything worse. I was told to give little Dash a stern talking to. I wasn't sure about it, but I thought, "Hey, a little discipline never hurts." But as soon as I had that tone of voice, Dash stomped off and stayed in a whole for 7 whole days. We lost countless followers!

Dashiell was getting a little uptight about his InstaPic duties. After therapy, I started giving him a day off every week. Things are a little better, I guess(?). I mean, he lets me dress him up now but he still doesn't seem, I dunno, happy.

Dashiell was getting a little uptight about his InstaPic duties. The therapist told me to let Dashy choose his own clothes. We're talking complete 180 here! Dash is back to his old carefree self! We don't always agree on his fashion choices but he's expressing his own sense of smooth kitty style!

You decide that this case demands a visit. Rodney and Dashiell are in your city so it only costs an arm to get over to them (you can keep your leg).
Rodney welcomes you warmly and gives you a tour of their stylish, modern two-story condo. You see a very comfortable multi-level cat tower, fresh water, human grade food. Dashiell himself looks heathly, his skin is clear, his fur is shiny.
The tour goes on for a bit longer and ends in the most ginormous walk-in closet you've ever seen, which is full of kitty couture. Meanwhile, Dashiell is hanging out in a little corner of the closet with some more comfy looking clothes, little hoodies, little shirts with images of pizza and hipster sayings. "We don't wear those anymore," Rodney stage whispers to you. "So last decade." Dashiell gives a little sigh and he gives the clothes in his section an affectionate nuzzle.

I've tried kind words, stern words, no words. They didn't say anything about it at the shelter, but I'm afraid he must be afraid of water... or baths... or old tubs."

Asher is giving a textbook doggy smile. He's relaxed, his eyes are a little closed, and his tongue is lolling. He's standing comfortably and looks... absolutely filthy.
"Woof, woof, bark," he says before panting in a way that sounds suspiciously like laughter. "Woof, ruff, ruff, ruff. Woof, woof."
Your pet nods their head sagely. They seem to be smiling, too.

You decide that this case demands a visit. Gabriela and Asher are in your state so it takes soooooo loooooong to get to them. It's an expensive trip, too.
Gabriela is a bit stiff and formal, but her affection for Asher shines through. Asher, meanwhile, is smiling like a huge goofball. He's very outgoing, gives you a huge kiss, and accepts several scritches. The house is small but comfortable, homey. Lots of Asher's stuff is strewn about. He's got a big bed in the kitchen and one in the living room.
You all end up in the backyard. There's a nice porch with a fan (and another doggy bed). The backyard is almost as big as the house. A perfect place to play for a dog like Asher. The tub stands near the hose. Asher runs and bounds all around it. You spend a few minutes trying to get him to sit in it. He bounds around, but eventually he does as you ask. His mouth is open in a friendly doggy smile.

Orion, Mishka's pet parent, joins the app for a video chat.

Orion seems to be a gentle soul. They go to another room, away from Mishka to chat with you. "Mishka's been an amazing pet," they tell you fondly. "But she really thinks she can sing, and she can't. She sounds like someone is strangling her while she gargles water with a police siren going off on repeat. It's enough to make your ears bleed. I need her to stop, but I want to let her down gently. It's just that it really seems to make her happy."

You decide that this case demands a visit. Orion and Mishka are in your city, so it doesn't take that long to get to them.
Mishka is perched on Orion's shoulder as they open the door the apartment. Orion lets you wander around the small hallways and into the living room where you spy lots of musical art and some rather impressive awards. Mishka perches on your shoulder as you take your stroll and perks up as you apprach the awards more closely. There's an interesting looking painting on the table. You start to ask about it but Orion assumes you are referring to the music awards and tells you about *them*.
As you chat a bit with Orion, Mishka flaps over to a record player and puts on a great tune, then hops off to a table with art supplies and spends the time happily occupied.

My Asher didn't want to take a bath, so I came to Furapy hoping for a solution. What I got was a stupid speech about "accepting him for who he is." Well that might sound great, but dang it, when you're dealing with a dog that smells like rotting garbage, "acceptance" is out of the question. My whole house smells like a dung heap. How are we supposed to make puppy friends now?

Asher was running away from baths. The therapist suggested a little more training. We worked on the suggested routine for a few weeks. It's working, he'll sit in the tub and let me bathe him. But his goof is gone. I'm not sure it was worth it.

My Asher was running away from the bath and getting me soaking wet in the process. Somehow this amazing therapist recognized that Asher was just pranking me! Running away was a big game to him! We set up a good-natured prank to get him into the bath and it worked! He was all smiles and now he smells like a dream! (Also, he totally got me back by shaking off on me 😉)

I came to this therapist because my poor Mishka keeps trying to sing, but sounds awful. Their "sage" advice was to just put in ear plugs. Sure. Fine. I couldn't hear it, but everyone else could. We woke up one day to a strongly worded letter and petition from the residents. Now we have to find a new apartment. Really great service. Couldn't have gone better.🙄

My bird, Mishka, fancies herself a singer. Unfortunately, she isn't much of one. Following this therapist's advice, I brought in an expert to give her singing lessons. Look, she's improved. There's no doubt about that, but she still sounds like Florence Foster Jenkins. I'm not convinced.

My bird, Mishka, used to sing at the top of her lungs. Unfortunately, she was never any good. This therapist was awesome! They realized that Mishka was only singing to try and make me proud because I never praised her paintings. So we held a little showing of her paintings for friends. She was so proud! She still loves music, but painting is obviously her first love. We even have an agent looking to represent her! My little prodigy!
