Cat Behavior

Cat behavior is a very interesting area to study. Once you start to learn about cat behavior you will have a new appreciation for our furry friends. Most people only become interested in cat behavior when they have behavioral problems.

For most people their interest in cat behavior starts and ends with behavior problems. The two most common cat behavior problems are cats not using the litter box, and feline aggression. Cat behavior problems are the most common reason why owners give their cats up and over to shelters.

For most owners this is a heart breaking ordeal because most have tried almost anything to try and help their cat. When dealing with a cat behavior problem most people at first hope it goes away, but after a while they realize they are going to have to deal with it.

Some people start off talking with friends and co-workers about the situation before seeking veterinary help. Once they get to the veterinarian, some realize that veterinarians aren’t necessarily trained in how to deal with cat behavior problems. Their main focus is medicine, and if a cat is having a behavior problems are likely to offer medication first.

The veterinary profession is really starting to change and now it is easier to find a veterinarian who are more focused on cat behavior.

If you are dealing with a cat behavior problem it is important to quickly try to resolve the issue with professional help. The main problem is people waiting too long to get help for their cat. Once a behavior becomes learned and ingrained in an animal it is hard to change them even if the initial problem has resolved.
