Identification of separation-related problems in domestic cats: A questionnaire survey

Daiana de Souza Machado, Paula Mazza Barbosa Oliveira, Juliana Clemente Machado, Maria Camila Ceballos, Aline Cristina Sant'Anna

Published in 2020

Preview: “Identifying and preventing the occurrence of separation-related problems (SRP) in companion animals are relevant to animal welfare and the quality of human-pet interactions. The SRP are defined as a set of behaviors and physiological signs displayed by the animal when separated from its attachment person. In cats, SRP has been insufficiently studied. Thus, the objective of this study was to develop a questionnaire for cat owners which identifies behaviors that may indicate SRP, as well as relates the occurrence of SRP to the management practices applied in the sampled cats.”
