In a study, behavior problems are the third most common reason for shelter surrender in cats after moving and owner allergies. In a recent Canadian study it was estimated that 11.5% of cats euthanized at veterinary clinics were for behavioral reasons and a similar US study indicated that 10–15% of euthanasias were for behavioral reasons. All veterinarians should be performing behavioral services to owners.
