[[Feline Aggression Towards Cats|Inter-cat aggression]] presents a particular problem because many of the aggressive incidents are not directly observed by the owner or may be misinterpreted when they are. Observation of the cat during the consultation is important but house visits may be preferable. When they are not possible, consultation observation is best augmented with video footage of the cat’s normal behaviour in its own surroundings. It is not acceptable to stage aggressive events for the purpose of making a diagnosis since this involves a serious risk of injury.

[[Feline Aggression Towards Cats|Inter-cat aggression]] presents a particular problem because many of the aggressive incidents are not directly observed by the owner or may be misinterpreted when they are.

Consultations can also be augmented with video footage of the cat’s normal behaviour in its own surroundings, but it is not acceptable for clients to stage aggressive events for the purpose of making a diagnosis since this involves a serious risk of injury.
