Feline Behavior and Welfare, 1st Edition, edited by Valarie V. Tynes, offers a detailed analysis of feline ethology and behavioral care. Published by Academic Press in December 2024, this volume introduces the biological foundations of cat conduct, examining evolutionary development and traits derived from nearest ancestors to contextualize domestic feline actions.

The text synthesizes normal feline behavior across several distinct thematic areas. It details sensory perception, feline communication methods, behavioral ontogeny, and feline social structure. Additionally, it evaluates essential daily biological processes, including reproductive patterns, maternal care, feeding and drinking habits, elimination behavior, and self-grooming routines.

Beyond baseline ethology, the work provides clinical guidance for reducing fear, anxiety, and stress inside veterinary clinic environments. This emphasis fits advanced undergraduate and graduate coursework in veterinary medicine, while providing practical value for animal behaviorists and specialized veterinary workers focusing on felines.
