Veterinary Psychiatry of the Cat: Diagnosis and Treatment of Behavioral Disorders

By

Vet eBooks

-

By Stéphane Bleuer-Elsner , Sylvia Masson , Marie Lacoste , Gérard Muller

Veterinary Psychiatry of the Cat: Diagnosis and Treatment of Behavioral Disorders lays the foundation for a dedicated discipline of feline veterinary psychiatry. Drawing on recent advances in neuroscience, ethology, psychology, and psychiatry, it also integrates the clinical expertise of its contributors. Building on the groundwork established in the authors’ first volume on canine veterinary psychiatry, this book expands the scope to address the unique behavioral complexities of cats.

Today, cats are the most common companion animals in households, outnumbering dogs. This rise has been accompanied by significant growth in feline medicine, including the emergence of research groups focused exclusively on feline health and veterinary clinics specializing in cat care.
As animals with a dual status – both prey and predator – and a naturally solitary disposition, cats often exhibit behaviors that may appear puzzling or inappropriate. Behavioral disorders have become a major concern in veterinary medicine, representing a source of animal distress and a critical threat to the human-animal bond.
