Layla Morgan Wilde is the multihyphenate founder and managing editor of Cat Wisdom 101. Since 2011 her award-winning online magazine has provided a platform to enlighten and entertain cat lovers everywhere. Their passion is transforming lives, one purr at a time.

Cats act as Layla Morgan Wilde’s creative muse and help her provide insights as a holistic cat behaviorist, an award-winning writer/photographer/speaker and is the official cat behaviorist for Tara The Hero Cat.

A life-long cat lover and passionate advocate for cats, Wilde founded the Toronto-based Annex Cat Rescue in 1997 where she created a unique foster program. In 2001, Wilde moved to the U.S. but the rescue/TNR organization with charitable status remain in operation and her legacy.

In the U.S. Wilde emerged as a thought leader when she shifted her focus from her life coaching clients to their pets. Her unique insights into the human/feline bond helped synthesize her approach as a holistic cat behaviorist. Her early background as a designer has served her well when creating environmental enrichment for cats in homes, offices and shelter settings.

In her quest to deepen her understanding of both humans and their cats, she has found many alternative healing modalities ideal for both species including Reiki, massage, music therapy and flower essences. Wilde is a professional member of the Cat Writers’ Association and a recipient of the Muse Medallion for photography. She has acted as a judge for the annual CWA awards contest and for the annual Nose-To-Nose Awards at BlogPaws.

As a speaker, Wilde has presented at Blogpaws, BarkWorld and CWA Conference. Active in social media pet advocacy campaigns including the ASPCA, Wilde is a passionate volunteer at the New Rochelle Humane Society where rehabs and fosters cats from hoarders and other challenging origins. A weekly blog feature showcases her shelter cat photography in creative adoption PSAs with a special focus on less adoptable cats.
