Understand your cat from the ground up

Raíces MIAU

The essentials for living happily with your cat: his needs, his behaviour and your life together.

Why it exists

Your cat is not complicated. He simply speaks another language.

Almost everything that puzzles us about cats stops being puzzling once we learn to look from their side. Raíces MIAU was born to give you that foundation: what you need to understand before trying to change anything.

The problem

Trying to understand him without looking through his eyes.

When we read a cat with human logic — or worse, dog logic — misunderstandings appear: life together gets tense, we chase isolated tricks, and nothing quite works.

  • You look for quick fixes to behaviours you don't understand.
  • You try advice that doesn't fit your cat or your home.
  • You love him deeply, yet feel something is still escaping you.

What it is

The foundation everything else rests on.

Raíces MIAU is not a list of tricks. It is the shift in perspective that makes everything make sense: once you understand how your cat works, every specific situation becomes far easier to handle.

The journey

Observe. Understand. Transform.

Three steps that build on each other. That is the path you walk inside Raíces MIAU.

  1. 01

    Observe

    Learn to read his signals: what he does, when he does it and what he is telling you before a problem shows up.

  2. 02

    Understand

    Discover what he really needs. You stop reading his behaviour with human logic and start looking through his eyes.

  3. 03

    Transform

    Build a life together where you can both be well. It isn't about correcting him: it's about understanding each other.

Everything included

Eleven modules, three bonds.

The programme is organised around three bonds — earthly, emotional and energetic. Open each one to see the modules and what you will gain.

01Earthly bondLearn to see his world through a cat's eyes: how he thinks, feels and perceives, what he needs each day, and how to resolve what worries you today at home.

Module 1 · Understand who your cat really is

  • How cats think and feel, from science and ethology
  • How past experiences shape his behaviour
  • How they perceive the world through smell, hearing and sight
  • How to recognise signs of trust, stress and happiness
  • Tools to decode his body language and assess his wellbeing

What you will gain: You will stop reading his behaviour through human eyes and start understanding what he is really communicating.

Module 2 · Everyday habits that can affect his wellbeing

  • Common mistakes in food, territory and human interaction
  • Correct use and placement of litter trays
  • Stress, anxiety and day-to-day health
  • Guides, exercises and a basic feline health check

What you will gain: You will spot habits that look normal but create discomfort or stress, and know how to change them simply.

Module 3 · Turn your home into a feline refuge

  • Vertical space, resting spots and hiding places suited to his personality
  • Play and hunting adapted to his nature
  • Distributing resources in multi-cat homes
  • Enrichment for senior, disabled or outdoor cats
  • Safe plants and preventing boredom

What you will gain: You will know how to organise his territory so he can rest, explore, play and coexist with more security and autonomy.

Module 4 · Understand and resolve everyday situations

  • Aggression towards people or between cats
  • Excessive or night-time meowing
  • Peeing and pooping outside the litter tray
  • Scratching, biting and destructive behaviour
  • Action plans and checklists for each case

What you will gain: You will stop seeing these behaviours as something your cat 'does wrong' and discover the need or discomfort behind them.

02Emotional bondDiscover what your bond may be reflecting: a complementary perspective, free of guilt, always addressing any physical symptom with your vet first.

Module 5 · Foundations of the Psychosomatic Perspective

  • Look — observe without interpreting or judging
  • Enquire — place when the symptom or behaviour began
  • Associate — explore what was happening emotionally at that time
  • Connect — integrate what you found and begin to transform it

What you will gain: You will learn the MIAU Method, a way of looking you can apply whenever a symptom, a change or a behaviour you don't understand appears.

Module 6 · Your cat's body as a window for observation

  • Digestive system and emotional eating
  • Urinary system and territory
  • Skin and coat: contact and containment
  • Respiratory system and living space

What you will gain: You will widen your view of what is happening — never replacing veterinary care — with questions that let you observe the shared emotional context.

Module 7 · Emotions, tension and distance in the bond

  • Anxiety and the nervous system
  • Aggression and overload at home
  • Musculoskeletal system and sustained tension
  • Isolation and distance in the relationship
  • Reproductive system and family roles

What you will gain: You will recognise emotional, relational and family patterns that may have gone unnoticed, and understand how you are both living certain situations.

Module 8 · Integration: the cat as an emotional teacher

  • Which patterns appear repeatedly
  • Which emotions or stages of your life relate to them
  • What your bond is showing you, and what you need to care for in yourself

What you will gain: You will turn the separate reflections from each module into a deeper understanding of yourself, your cat and the relationship you share.

03Energetic bondOpen your view towards the most intuitive, subtle part of the relationship with your cat: what isn't always put into words.

Module 9 · The Experience of the Bond

  • A space to pause, connect with your cat and experience your relationship from another place

What you will gain: You will be able to step out of mental analysis and feel, with more presence, what happens in the bond you share.

Module 10 · Communicating with your cat

  • An individual communication with one of your cats to learn what he needs to express to you

What you will gain: You will access information about your relationship, his needs and the message he has for you.

Module 11 · Connect with your animal

  • Masterclass with Mar and Sergio, from Seranyma, to deepen the connection with your cat from the heart

What you will gain: You will discover new ways of approaching him through presence, intuition and emotional connection.
