Episode 45 – Feline House Soiling – What You Need To Know!
This is a topic we are SO passionate about.
In a study by Salman et. al. (see below), 28% of cats who were relinquished to shelters were relinquished for behavioural reasons, and of those 28%, 43% were relinquished for house soiling.
While this is a distressing situation for cats and caregivers alike, we actually have a really good chance of successfully treating these cases, as long as we take the path to getting to the correct diagnosis.
In this episode, Dr Katrin gives you her approach to categorizing the different causes of feline house soiling and how we can differentiate between the different presentations to find the correct diagnosis and treatment plan.
In this episode you will learn:
1. The normal stages of kitten development and elimination
2. Possible physical health contributions to Feline House Soiling
3. How to differentiate between Urine Marking and Elimination presentations
4. Where FIC (Feline Idiopathic Cystitis) fits into the puzzle
5. Why addressing stress is vital in all cases of Feline House Soiling
Here are the resources Dr Katrin mentions in this episode:

Episode 40– Noise Fear and Phobias – What you need to know!
Did you know that up to 50% of our pet dogs suffer from noise sensitivity, fear of noises or even noise phobias?
That is a HUGE amount and most of them go undiagnosed and untreated. And that means that many of our pets suffer, either on a daily basis or during specific noise events such as fireworks and thunderstorms.
Cats are likely also affected by noises, but because they tend to hide in these circumstances, pet caregivers might not notice this, and they are even less likely to get the help they might need.
In this episode, Dr Katrin chats about:
· The different diagnoses when it comes to noises - is it a phobia, fear or sensitivity?
· The signs your dog might show if they are fearful of noises
· Why household electrical appliances are important
· How dogs hear differently from humans and what that means for them
· How we can manage the environment to help
· Counter-conditioning to noises
· Supplements, pheromones and medications
Here are some of the papers Dr Katrin mentioned in this episode:
1. An open-label prospective study of the use of l-theanine (Anxitane) in storm-sensitive client-owned dogs, Amy L. Pike, Debra F. Horwitz, Heidi Lobprise, JVB, 2015, Vol 10:4, pp324-331, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jveb.2015.04.001
2. Dexmedetomidine oromucosal gel for noise associated acute anxiety and fear in dogs—a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, Vet Record, 2017, M. Korpivaara, K. Laapas, M. Huhtinen, B. Schöning, K. Overall

Episode 39 - Brain Health and Behaviour
This episode is all about how brain health affects behaviour.
Our brain does not exist in isolation from the rest of our body and so changes in the rest of our body can affect brain health, and therefore behaviour.
Physical health, but also genetics, epigenetics, early life development and learning can all affect the brain, the brain’s health and, ultimately, behaviour.
In this episode, you will learn:
· How genetics and epigenetics affect behaviour
· How small details such as where a puppy is located in their mom’s womb can affect behaviour
· Why Neurotransmitters are EVERYTHING 😊
· What happens if communication in the brain is disrupted
· How neurological, gastro-intestinal and dermatological disease as well as pain can affect behaviour
Some of the research papers Dr Katrin talks about in this episode:
1. Amadei, E., Cantile, C., Gazzano, A., Pierantoni, L., & Mariti, C. (2021). The link between neurology and behavior in veterinary medicine: A review. Journal of Veterinary Behavior, 46, 40–53. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jveb.2021.07.003
2. Watson, F., Rusbridge, C., Packer, R. M. A., Casey, R. A., Heath, S., & Volk, H. A. (2018). A review of treatment options for behavioural manifestations of clinical anxiety as a comorbidity in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy. Veterinary Journal, 238, 1–9. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2018.06.001
3. McAuliffe, L. R., Koch, C. S., Serpell, J., & Campbell, K. L. (2022). Associations Between Atopic Dermatitis and Anxiety, Aggression, and Fear-Based Behaviors in Dogs. Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association, 58(4), 161–167. https://doi.org/10.5326/JAAHA-MS-7210

Episode 36 – Shelter Puppies – Carol & Marley’s Story
How do you know what to expect when you adopt a puppy from a shelter?
Puppies born in or taken to shelters at an early age probably face quite a few different challenges to other puppies.
Don’t get me wrong, puppies bred in large scale breeding facilities and sold via pet shops also face challenges, as do puppies that have altered genetics or are challenged epigenetically, however, shelters bring their own set of circumstances with them and, if you are considering getting a puppy from a shelter, I would advise that you do some research and go into the puppy adventure with eyes wide open!
In this episode, Dr Katrin chats to Carol, who, together with her husband Paul, adopted the lovely Marley from a shelter in Abu Dhabi as a puppy.
Have a listen as they chat about Marley’s unique behavioural challenges, how these affected Carol and Paul and how Dr Katrin and Ilse helped them understand Marley better and put a treatment plan in place to help Marley become a happier, healthier individual, one that the whole family can now enjoy!
We really hope you enjoy this episode; it is packed with so much information!

Episode 35 – Cat-Cat Introductions…What You Need To Know!
We see A LOT of Feline Behaviour Cases here in the UAE and, unlike other areas in the world, we see an over-representation of Inter-Cat Aggression cases, which means 2 or more cats living in the same household showing signs of hostility towards each other or even actively fighting with each other.
This is a really stressful situation for everyone involved, including the cats involved in the hostility or fights, cats and other pets who are not involved in the fights and, of course, the caregivers.
But why do we see this so commonly in cats, why much more so than in other species?
Well, this is all down to cats’ unique sociability spectrums and Dr Katrin delves deep into this at the beginning of the episode.
What you will learn from this episode:
1. Whether you should add a second (or third or fourth) cat to the home.
2. Which cats are more likely to form good relationships with each other.
3. How resources influence the social dynamic.
4. How to practically begin an introduction process.
5. When to ask for help!
This is a complex and often frustrating scenario and impacts everyone’s wellbeing and welfare so we really hope you enjoy this episode!

This is SUCH a great episode packed with information for vets, vet nurses, pet care professionals and pet caregivers alike.

Dr Katrin chat about her challenges in setting up this brand-new service in the Middle East and the parallels between this in the expat hubs of the UAE and Singapore.

They talk about the families behind the pet and providing a safe space for them to share their frustrations and challenges of living with pets with Behaviour Problems.
This is such as cool and global episode and you won’t want to miss this, especially if you are a vet considering a residency in Veterinary Behaviour Medicine yourself!

Episode 29 – Stress – what is it and why is it important for our pets?
Stress is a big topic – not only in pets but also us humans and having a good understanding of what it is and how it affects us can be really important.
Stress is actually a totally normal and important response, which keeps us safe and working in an optimal state – both physically as well as mentally and emotionally.
Dr Katrin explains the physiological stress hormone cascades and how they can be dysregulated to cause “toxic” or “chronic” stress, which can be detrimental to overall health.
She also chats about the “stress bucket”, a visual representation of what she hopes to achieve when putting together a treatment plan and a really tangible way for pet caregivers to look at stress in their pets.
