“…Behaviour scoring systems have been developed for use as instruments to assess painful conditions; 1,3,5,13,14 to identify feral cats; 15 to evaluate response to stressors; 4,6,7,9,16 to evaluate response to clinical behaviour therapy; 2 and to evaluate the response to locomotor environment enrichment. 17 Caged cats have been studied during long-term periods with particular emphasis on their temperament and welfare within these living conditions.…”

“…a)- Friendly and confident The pain score may be considered true as these cats are assumed to be able to reflect their true demeanour. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Friendly and shy These cats may mask pain and thus the score obtained in the pain score may be lower than the true pain experienced.…”

We evaluated behavioural changes in domestic cats during a short-term hospitalisation using a novel cat demeanour scoring system. Thirty-five, healthy client-owned cats admitted for neutering were enrolled. Cats were housed in a standardised cat ward for a short-term hospitalisation period (3-5 days) and demeanour scores were recorded once daily. The scoring system classified cats into one of five behavioural groupings: friendly-and-confident, friendlyand-shy, withdrawn-and-protective, withdrawn-and-aggressive, and overtly-aggressive. Total demeanour score decreased over time (P<0.001) and the demeanour category improved (P<0.001). The intra-class correlation was 0.843 (P<0.001) and kappa was 0.606 (P<0.001) suggesting good repeatability and agreement among investigators. The demeanour scoring system was effective in detecting behaviour change in healthy cats undergoing a short-term hospitalisation period. The findings suggest that healthy cats require two days to acclimatise to hospitalisation.

“…Siegford et al (2003) found no relationship between a Feline Temperament Profile (FTP) and salivary cortisol levels. Iki et al (2011) found no correlation between blood cortisol levels and a Feline Temperament Profile (FTP) and Ramos et al (2013) found that faecal cortisol metabolites did not vary according to personality as well. A study conducted by Finkler and Terkel (2010) shows another point of view: intact female cats that exhibit more agonistic encounters had higher hair cortisol levels (agonistic behaviour and personality are different, but more aggressiveness can relate to individual differences in coping with the environment).…”

Agradecimentos À Olívia pela paciência em me orientar e pela montanha de conhecimento sobre hormônios, estresse, laboratório, relatórios, protocolos e escritas. Aprendi demais nesses quase três anos. Às doutoras Daniela Ramos e Carine Savalli Redigolo pelas ricas sugestões feitas no exame de qualificação. Ao professor Rupert Palme da Universidade de Medicina Veterinária de Viena pelos tantos anticorpos concedidos. À Veridiana, à Dani e à Jade pelo transporte dos kits laboratoriais. Ao professor Adroaldo Zanella por ceder tão prontamente seu laboratório para nossas dosagens de cortisol. À Luana Alves e ao João Metzner por todo apoio e ajuda no laboratório. Às minhas queridas estagiárias Bruna Shintate, Gislaine Faria e Letícia Bicudo. Sem vocês não conseguiria coletar tantas amostras, nem extrair todas elas com tanto empenho e rapidez. Agradeço também à Bruna Amaral pela disposição em me ajudar. Ao Alex Hubbe, à Anna Beatriz, ao Diogo Melo e ao Vinícius Frayze pelas dicas e consultorias em matemática e estatística. À Carolina Vicentini, minha consultora de vida e revisora de todos os meus textos, nunca te agradeceria o bastante. À Natália Albuquerque, um presente que o mestrado me deu. Aos meus gatos amados que estiveram sempre ao meu lado, Kim, Moti, Mica, Dente, Bolão, Pek, Jedi e Sam (os três últimos in memoriam). Obrigada pela inspiração diária e por serem os melhores bichos do mundo. E à Pepa, minha cachorra, que me proporcionou tantos momentos na praça para espairecer a cabeça. Amo muito vocês. A todos os gatos do mundo, observar e amar vocês faz minha vida ter mais sentido. Que espécie incrível! À Ong Catland, principalmente Perla, Lórien, Lu Tiemi, Madana, Shastra, Jagga, Dra. Bia, e a todos os voluntários que me ajudaram demais na identificação dos gatos, nas dicas, nas conversas e que me receberam de braços abertos para essa pesquisa. A todos os tutores que contribuíram com a minha pesquisa (e seus gatos!).

Twelve years ago, when the perspective of a vet career was not fulfilling me and I was about to give up on everything, you opened me a window to a fascinating world: the secret life of animals. Since then, we haven´t stopped in our incredible journey exploring the mind of our canine friends. We researched together, we laughed together, and together we took "incredible" 8 years to publish our so expected Sofia´s paper! The first step had been completed, but there was a lot to come. Your enthusiasm, geniality and partnership have been strongly missed. Your great lessons will be kept fresh in my mind and heart whilst carrying on doing research with joy, dedication and creativity as you always taught. You are not here to celebrate this moment but whenever you are please receive my special thanks for everything. We certainly talked a lot about canine behaviour in the past decade-all that stuff surely warmed me up to go decipher cats too! samples processed there. Marie Odile, thanks for all the guidance during samples preparation and for the theoretical discussions. Thanks to Prof. Dulce Casarini, and her post-doctorate students Juliana e Daniela, from Federal São Paulo University, who kindly and promptly accepted analyzing the cats´ blood samples when problems at our faculty made the analysis impossible. Thanks to Angelica, Paty and Nina, my great friends from the Psychology Institute, for the help with the writing-up, the videos´analysis and the so called social "trees", respectively. We started at the same time and with the same goal, and together we are in all the crucial moments in our careers. Our meetings, full of chatting and lots of joy helped me all way throw the taught writing-up period. A special thanks to people from our laboratory, Clara, Cleide and Claudia, who since the beginning were very friendly and helpful. To Carlito who amazingly collected all blood samples with no stress (at least for the humans!). Thanks Marcela for all the papers and hints on urinary stuff! Thanks to Evelyse and Claudio, my special "virgo" friends. With our so similar way to work, a lesson I learnt: it is ok to be a perfectionist! Working together during the international seminars was great! Guys, reference list and photos turned to be really perfect! Thanks to Cida and Adelaide, who were so comprehensive and supportive whenever I dealt with paper work, deadlines, and examinations. Thanks to Prof. Carlos Eduardo Larsson,
