Joey Lusvardi didn't stumble into cat training. He came in through the side door — a psychology degree, a deep understanding of behavioral science, and a realization that the same principles governing how humans learn and respond to their environment apply just as powerfully to cats. That foundation became Class Act Cats: a solo practice, IAABC-certified, operating entirely over Zoom, with clients on at least four continents. His specialty? Cat conflict. Think: two cats who can't share a space, a kitten terrorizing a senior cat, or a newly introduced housemate creating chaos. Joey calls it "marriage and family therapy, feline edition" — and he's very, very good at it. What you'll learn: • Why Joey traded in-person sessions for virtual — and why cats actually behave better on camera • The #1 behavioral problem in multi-cat households (and what's really causing it) • How psychology and animal behavior science overlap more than most people think • What it took to become IAABC-certified — and why credentials matter in a field people still don't take seriously • How Joey manages a global client base as a true solopreneur, filmed entirely on Zoom • What it looks like to build a niche business that people doubted — until the results spoke for themselves FAQ: Is virtual cat behavior consulting actually effective? According to Joey, it's more effective than in-person. Cats behave naturally in their home environment without a stranger present, which gives him a cleaner read on the actual problem — and a better shot at solving it. This video is part of the Zoomterview series — a collection of candid, one-on-one conversations with Zoom Solopreneur 50 honorees, captured entirely on Zoom. In each episode, journalist and entrepreneur Nayeema Raza, host of "Smart Girls, Dumb Questions," explores what it really takes to build and sustain a successful solo business — from the practical tools to the personal resilience required along the way.
