Inappropriate elimination or behavioral periuria/perichezia is a commonly reported feline behavioral problem worldwide. Changes in behavior are often early signs of physical illness and can worsen existing behavioral issues. Determining the cause, whether medical or behavioral, is crucial before implementing appropriate treatments.
Inappropriate elimination or behavioral periuria/perichezia is likely the most reported feline behavioral problem worldwide. A change in behavior is often one of the early signs of physical disease and in addition can aggravate an existing behavioral response. An initial determination of causation is essential; is it medical or behavioral, or a combination of both? Stress activates both the sympathetic adrenomedullary system for short-term responses and the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis for long-term responses. Once medical problems have been treated or ruled out, attention should shift to minimizing and using various therapeutic options to help improve and/or resolve undesirable elimination problems.
