Behavior Problem or Problem Behavior?

Abstract

When humans decide to live with another species, certain considerations must be made: the first being that this other species has a repertoire of species-specific and species-normal behaviors, some of which may be annoying or objectionable to the humans. Many cat behaviors are understood but many still are not. Five of the common problem behaviors in cats are house soiling, scratching, climbing and jumping up on things, howling, and hunting. By understanding the normal behaviors of cats, it may be easier to work out compromises so that the human and feline species can live together in harmony.
