Riassunto

Practical Feline Behaviour contains all the relevant information that a veterinary nurse or technician needs to understand and handle the behaviour and welfare of house cats, and to offer safe and practical advice to clients.There have been ground-breaking advances in our understanding of feline behaviour in recent years and, to protect the welfare of cats, it is increasingly important that anyone involved with their care, especially those in a professional capacity, keep up to date with these developments.This approachable and down-to-earth text describes the internal and external influences on feline behaviour; on communication, learning, social behaviour, the relationship between behaviour and disease, and the cat - human relationship. It also provides practical advice on how the welfare of cats in our care may be protected and how behaviour problems should be addressed and how to avoid them. In this book Trudi Atkinson draws on her extensive experience as a veterinary nurse and a Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourist to provide a rapid reference and an intensely practical feline behaviour resource for owners, breeders, veterinary professionals, shelter and cattery workers and anyone involved in the care of our feline companions.- Practical, down to earth guide detailing all aspects of feline behaviour- Rapid reference for instant access to information- Written by a well-known animal behaviourist who has extensive experience in treating feline behaviour problems and in advising clients to protect the welfare of their cats- Includes a foreword by John Bradshaw, School of Veterinary Science at University of Bristol, UK

Recensione

The book provides an excellent base for understanding cats and helps to read and handle them better. The information in this book improves both the cat's and the owner´s welfare and makes work easier for veterinarians and veterinary nurses. With the help of this book you can recognise behavioural and environmental issues easier and provide needed early treatment. For those who are already familiar with cat behaviour and cats as patients, this book doesn´t necessarily give much new information, but for those not that familiar with cats, I warmly recommend it. --Riikka Tolmunen, January 2019

Practical Feline Behaviour: Understanding Cat Behaviour and Improving Welfare is written by an experienced certified behavior technician in the United Kingdom. The book is divided into 2 parts: or-igin and basic behavior of domestic cats and applied behavior. Veterinarians will be familiar with the content of the first part. The second part is subdivided into sections intended for cat breeders, prospective cat owners, cat owners, veterinary professionals, and those in 'other careers.' --Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, December 2018
