Cat Behavior & Facts Cats communicate with each other and people
in many fascinating ways. Cat’s use vocalizations as well as
body language in order to alert us to how they are feeling.
Before we can understand possible cat behavior issues it is
important to know what is considered normal or what our cat is
trying to say. In fact many cat behavior problems are actually
normal behaviors but the cat is performing them inappropriately
from the owner’s perspective. Some of the most common cat
behavioral issues are aggression and elimination problems and
often stem from a lack of proper environmental stimulation or
outlets for normal feline behaviors. With a detailed history and
examination, your veterinarian can quickly assess your cat’s
behavior issues and provide solutions or treatment options to
help ease the undesired behavior. Effective behavior treatments
usually include enriching a cat's environment and strengthening
the bond between pet and owner. Other modifications and
medications must sometimes be used
