Part 1: Foundations of Animal Behavior

1. Introduction to Ethology & Applied Behavior

Stereotypic Behaviors (e.g., pacing, cribbing in horses; feather plucking in birds)

The Behavioral History – Key Questions to Ask

  1. What is normal for this animal (sleep, play, eating)?
  2. When did the problem start – sudden or gradual?
  3. Is it linked to specific triggers (people, places, times)?
  4. Has there been any recent change in environment or routine?
  5. Is the animal on any medication?

Conclusion

Consider the case of a seven-year-old domestic shorthair cat who begins urinating outside the litter box. A layperson might label this as "spiteful" or "angry." A veterinary behaviorist, however, knows this is rarely a behavioral problem; it is a medical investigation. The most common causes for this behavior (periuria) are feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) , cystitis, or renal failure. The cat associates the litter box with pain during urination, leading to an aversion.
