摘要: Oriental breeds, such as Siamese and Birman cats, are more prone to wool-sucking. Though there appears be a genetic susceptibility for the behavior, we hypothesized that expression of wool-sucking was associated with either physical characteristics (head shape in Siamese, coat color, claw status), an abnormally intense appetite, medical problems and/or environmental factors (weaning age; litter size; obtainment source; number cats environment; residence home or cattery; use breeder, show cat, pet.) The purpose our study distinguish differences between affected control determine whether these impacted compulsive behavior. Two hundred four were enrolled study. Owners surveyed regarding signalment, characteristics, current previous conditions, presence factors. Early weaning small size increased risk Birmans, only. condition cats. appetite seen all No relationship
