Well, Harry made my day today. He's chock full of personality. So how does such a nice cat end up in a behaviorists office? Well Harry has an unsually high need for activity and enrichment. He has a strong drive to explore and hunt. Despite his mom's awesome job at enrichment, Harry has decided the most reinforcing thing to hunt in the house is her!

We are eager to help Harry and his mom have a less dangerous and more satisfying lifestyle so he can remain in his home.

A pet can look “healthy” and still be suffering.

That is one of the hardest parts of behavioral euthanasia for people to understand.

Behavior does not happen separately from the body. The brain is part of the body. So when a pet is living in severe panic, anxiety, compulsive behavior, self-injury, or constant fear, that is not “just behavior.”

It can become a quality-of-life issue.

In this clip from **The Pet Parent Hotline**, board-certified veterinary behaviorist Dr. Lore Haug explains why the old question, “Is it medical or behavioral?” does not tell the whole story.

The full episode is out now:
"When a Pet Is Loved, but Not Safe: Understanding Behavioral Euthanasia"
