Cat Behavior & Training > Cat Behavior 101 > Obsessive-Compulsive Behavior in Cats Obsessive-compulsive disorders in cats come in several forms of behavior, and stem from several causes. In a study published by AVMA , environmental/social stress were found to be factors causing OCD in cats. Female cats were found to be more prone, and inbreeding of purebreds was a factor, particularly in Oriental breeds.
Cat Behavior & Training > Cat Behavior 101 > One of the most common complaints about cat behavior is their excessive vocalization: lound meowing or crying, sometimes accompanied by other attention-seeking behavior. Because causes for both of these behaviors can be either physical or emotional, or both, you need to do some homework on possible causes before punishing your cat for excessive crying and meowing, or other attention seeking behavior. Sometimes what may seem to be a “behavior problem” may be completely normal behavior in a given cat.
