This course explores the role of behavioural medicine in feline practice, including normal feline behaviour, common misconceptions, and their impact on clinical presentations.

Consideration of the feline environmental needs will be related to the concept of environmental optimisation and the role that plays in managing feline cases, both within behavioural and internal medicine. There will be discussion of the veterinary practice role in educating feline caregivers to reduce the incidence of behavioural problems in the domestic cat population and reduce the impact of emotional distress on physical health of feline patients.
