Practical relevance: The ‘2022 AAFP/ISFM Cat Friendly Veterinary Interaction Guidelines: Approach and Handling Techniques’ (hereafter the ‘Cat Guidelines’) support veterinary professionals with feline interactions handling to reduce impact of fear other protective (negative) emotions, in so doing enhancing welfare In implementing these Guidelines, team satisfaction cat caregiver confidence will increase as result efficient examinations, better experience, more reliable diagnostic testing...
Practical relevance: The ‘2022 ISFM/AAFP Cat Friendly Veterinary Environment Guidelines’ (hereafter the ‘Cat Guidelines’) describe how veterinary clinic environment can be manipulated to minimise feline patient distress. Many components of a visit or stay may result in negative experiences for cats. However, much done improve cat’s experience by making more cat friendly. Exposure other cats and species reduced, adjustments made with consideration senses species-specific behaviour. Caregivers...
Guidelines rationale: Cats are among the most commonly kept domestic pets, and coexist with humans in a variety of different circumstances. sentient beings and, as such, have responsibility for cat welfare where cats coexist. Because reproduce efficiently, measures to control populations frequently needed, but these should be based on ethical humane approaches. Framework: These consensus guidelines from International Society Feline Medicine’s Welfare Advisory Panel provide framework approach...
Thirty‐eight families who continued in conjoint family therapy were compared on a variety of antecedent variables to 13 dropped out. Three potentially important predictors continuance found: (a) which spouse initiated the search for treatment; (b) level authoritarianism spouses; and (c) socioeconomic status. Families that out treatment tended be lower status contained spouses had more highly authoritarian attitudes as measured by California F Scale ( 1 ). severly disturbed member poor rate...
Previous research has shown that human classification of contextspecific domestic cat "meow" vocalizations is relatively poor, although improves with experience and/or general affinity to cats. To investigate whether such further when recipients (humans) the reside vocalizing animal (cat), owners (n=10) were asked listen eight audio recordings a single meow (4 from their own and 4 an unfamiliar cat) produced during one four possible contexts, identify context in which each was emitted....
When an anticipated food reward is unexpectedly reduced in quality or quantity, many mammals show a successive negative contrast (SNC) effect, i.e. reduction instrumental consummatory responses below the level shown by control animals that have only ever received lower-value reward. SNC effects are believed to reflect aversive emotional state, caused discrepancy between expected and actual Furthermore, how respond such has been suggested be sign of animals' background mood state. However,...
The idea for this research grew out of an interest in the attempts to balance conflicting concerns individual privacy and freedom expression rights vis a those economic political needs.

When unexpectedly switched from a preferred to less-preferred food reward, non-human animals may decrease consumption below that when only receiving the reward - successive negative contrast (SNC) effect. SNC has been proposed as an animal welfare indicator, however, be effective it should show external validity; being demonstrable outside of highly standardized laboratory settings. We therefore investigated whether effect typically shown in rats was observed owned (pet) heterogeneous...
The attribution of human-like traits to non-human animals, termed anthropomorphism, can lead misunderstandings animal behaviour, which result in risks both human and well being welfare. In this paper, we, during an inter-disciplinary collaboration between social computing behaviour researchers, investigated whether a simple image-tagging application could improve the understanding how people ascribe intentions emotions their domestic cats. A web-based application, Tag puss, was developed...
