CVMA Presents (fee applies): This presentation aims to provide the veterinarian with talking points for a welfare-centered communication with owners of cats with scratching problems, hopefully eliminating the need for the very controversial surgical approach. We will address the importance of cats performing normal behaviors, such as appropriate opportunities to scratch, and will explore humane solutions that are based in understanding the nature of this behavior.
