ABSTRACT: In order to work cooperatively with cats within the veterinary environment, it is important to have a correct understanding of their nature and innate behaviours. The social structure of the cat is very different to that of people and dogs and. therefore, at times can provide challenging situations for veterinary staff. This article explores the practical implication of these facts.
