Housing And Welfare

Abstract: The way a cat is housed will have a significant impact on its welfare. The range of housing conditions in which cats may be kept include boarding, breeding and quarantine catteries, shelters, research facilities, veterinary practices and the home. Drawing on ethological principles, the evolutionary history of the cat and studies of cats kept in different conditions, the housing requirements of cats are described with regard to the quantity and quality of space, contact with conspecifics and with humans, and th… Show more

“…This enrichment becomes a permanent part of the enclosure furniture. The efficiency of the barriers was measured with domestic cats (Felis cattus Linnaeus, 1758) in which these refuges were used to make some cats hide from others and to provide safe environments for cats (Rochlitz, 2007;Oliveira et al, 2015). This kind of enrichment reduced the .43 physiological stress as shown by Carlstead et al (1993b).…”

“…Many studies about environmental enrichment procedures for felids have been developed around the world (Lindburg, 1988;Mellen, 1993;Powell, 1997;Wooster, 1997;Weller & Bennett, 2001;Jenny & Schmid, 2002;Mcphee, 2002;Bashaw et al, 2003;Wells & Egli, 2004;Rochlitz, 2007;Skibiel et al, 2007;Quirke & Riordan, 2011;Resende et al 2011;Normando et al, 2014;Manfrim et al, 2017). Some of these were carried out on the Leopardus pardalis Linnaeus, 1758 (Mellen, 1993;Powell, 1997;Skibiel et al, 2007;Normando et al, 2014;Manfrim et al, 2017).…”

“…O aumento do interesse na ciência do bem-estar animal é evidente para animais de criação, companhia, silvestres, de zoológicos e também de laboratório (ROCHLITZ, 2005).…”

“…A partir desses fatores, tem aumentado o número de gatos domésticos confinados em todo o mundo, seja em abrigos, em residências por convenção de conselhos conservacionistas (ROCHLITZ, 2005;ELLIS;WELLS, 2007;ROBERTSON, 2007), por representarem uma espécie de difícil controle de liberdade domiciliar (GENARO, 2010) ou mesmo por residirem em apartamentos, biotérios de universidades, estabelecimentos de reprodução e comércio de animais além de centros de controle de zoonoses (CCZ's), visto que o abandono desses animais tem crescido nos últimos anos (GENARO;COLLUCCI, 2009). Broom e Fraser (2007) afirmam que gatos confinados por um longo período de tempo precisam, além de boas práticas de manejo, de um ambiente suficientemente complexo a ponto de possibilitar a maioria das necessidades do animal, como exercícios físicos e interação social.…”
