A sound understanding of normal behaviour is a prerequisite for ensuring good behavioural health and welfare in cats. Based on this sound knowledge, inventive and effective ways of enriching a cat’s environment can be devised so as to minimize stress, promote good behavioural health and strengthen the relationship between owners and their cats. This chapter looks at feeding behaviour, drinking behaviour, elimination behaviour, social behaviour and organization, creating harmony in multi-cat households, kittens, territory and home range, communication, marking behaviours, activity and play, environmental enrichment, assessment and welfare in cats, travel and visits to the veterinary surgery, indoor versus outdoor housing.
