Resumo: | The number of cats has been growing in Brazilian homes and it is estimated that within approximately a decade it will surpass that of dogs. This increase generates demand for veterinary services that are able to comfortably receive felines and their owners. Cats are considered animals very reactive to adversity, which means that they can be brought into a state of stress quickly. Misunderstanding how they react to fear and pain makes appointments difficult and leads to a subsequent lack of routine veterinary care. Given this, the objective of this study was to know the profile of tutors, perceptions about feline behavior and possible obstacles faced by them with regard to the health care of pets. Data were collected from a semi-structured questionnaire available on an online platform. 5,213 participants were included, of which: 93% were women, 52% were single and lived in urban areas (96%). Fifty-nine percent of owners responded that their cat is only taken for consultation when it shows any clinical signs and 65% of them are anxious when they need to take their cats to the veterinarian. Regarding the veterinary care scenario, 40% of the owners responded that their cats had already been handled inappropriately by professionals in the service, with low affinity with the species and excessive containment being the main behaviors observed. About 40% of the owners have already changed their veterinarian because of these behaviors. The data presented point to the importance of implementing and improving friendly and gentle care practices with cats and their owners so that the health and well-being of these animals are preserved. |

Esse aumento gera demanda de serviços veterinários que estejam aptos a receber apropriadamente felinos e seus donos. Os gatos são considerados animais muito reativos às adversidades, o que faz com que possam ser levados a um estado de estresse rapidamente. A má compreensão de como reagem ao medo e à dor dificulta o andamento das consultas e leva a subsequente falta de cuidados veterinários de rotina. Diante disso, o objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer o perfil de tutores, percepções sobre o comportamento felino e possíveis obstáculos enfrentados por eles no que diz respeito aos cuidados com a saúde dos pets. Os dados foram coletados a partir de questionário semiestruturado disponibilizado em plataforma online. Foram incluídos 5.213 participantes, dos quais: 93% eram mulheres, 52% eram solteiros e residiam em áreas urbanas (96%). Cinquenta e nove por cento dos proprietários responderam que seu gato só é conduzido para consulta quando apresenta algum sinal de doença e 65% deles ficam ansiosos quando precisam levar seus gatos ao veterinário. Em relação ao cenário do atendimento veterinário, 40% dos proprietários responderam que seus gatos já foram manipulados de maneira inadequada por profissionais do serviço sendo a baixa afinidade com a espécie e a contenção excessiva as principais condutas observadas. Cerca de 40% dos proprietários já trocaram de veterinário por conta dessas condutas. Os dados apresentados apontam para a importância de implementar e melhorar práticas de cuidados amigáveis e gentis com gatos e seus donos para que a saúde e bem estar desses animais sejam preservadas.Universidade Federal de Santa MariaBrasilMedicina VeterináriaUFSMPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Medicina VeterináriaCentro de Ciências RuraisPinto Filho, Saulo Tadeu Lemoshttp://lattes.cnpq.br/1626744106896196Andrade, Cinthia Melazzo dehttp://lattes.cnpq.br/2886709251370905Bertoletti, BiancaCosta, Fernanda Vieira Amorim daRampelotto, Carine2021-11-17T13:02:15Z2021-11-17T13:02:15Z2021-06-24info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://repositorio.ufsm.br/handle/1/22828porAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Manancial - Repositório Digital da UFSMinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSM2021-12-01T10:58:52Zoai:repositorio.ufsm.br:1/22828Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertaçõeshttps://repositorio.ufsm.br/ONGhttps://repositorio.ufsm.br/oai/requestatendimento.sib@ufsm.br||tedebc@gmail.comopendoar:2021-12-01T10:58:52Manancial - Repositório Digital da UFSM - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false |
