Description
Play behavior is found throughout the animal kingdom, but why? In dogs, one primary function of play is building social cohesion. To contrast, for cats play is primarily an outlet for predatory behavior. This presentation will review the scientific literature related to cat play, including its development and functions. On a more applied level, I will discuss how play is related to cat welfare, play-related problems that cat owners may experience, and how play can be used as part of a behavior modification plan.
