Webinar – 4/22/21 – To Pee or Not to Pee: That is the Feline House Soiling Problem – ACVB

April 22, 2021 @ 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM PDT

Free

Urine here, urine there, urine everywhere! Living in a home where your beloved cat eliminates outside of the litter box can be a very disheartening and frustrating experience. Unfortunately, feline house soiling problems are the most common behavioral complaint in cats. Join us in this webinar where we will walk through the decision tree to diagnosing behavioral causes for feline house soiling, differentiating between marking behavior and unwanted toileting behavior (previously referred to as “inappropriate elimination”), and discuss prevention and treatment recommendations.

She stayed on at NC State for her fellowship and as a clinical instructor before joining the Animal Behavior Clinic in Portland, OR in 2019. When striving to understand inter-cat conflict and feline house soiling within her home, Dr. Pankratz became passionate about veterinary behavior. She aspires to help others rebuild the human animal bond. She is most interested in educating others to better understand and communicate with their beloved pet. She is an adjunct professor at NC State CVM and teaches veterinary behavior to the public, veterinary students and fellow veterinarians. For her research on the use of behavioral medication to improve the welfare of cats, she was awarded the RK Anderson ACVB Resident Award and JFMS Resident Best Paper Award.
