Abstract：
GUIDELINES RATIONALE: A cat\'s level of comfort with its environment is intrinsically linked to its physical health, emotional wellbeing and behavior. Having a basic understanding of the cat\'s species-specific environmental needs and how cats interact with their environment will provide a foundation for addressing these fundamental requirements. ENVIRONMENTAL NEEDS: Addressing environmental needs is essential (not optional) for optimum wellbeing of the cat. Environmental needs include those relating not only to the cat\'s physical surroundings (indoors or outdoors; in the home environment or at the veterinary practice) but also those affecting social interaction, including responses to human contact. FIVE \'PILLARS\' FRAMEWORK: The authorship panel has organized the Guidelines around five primary concepts (\'pillars\') that provide the framework for a healthy feline environment. Understanding these principles and the unique environmental needs of the cat will help veterinarians, cat owners and care-givers to reduce stress, the incidence of stress-related disorders, and unwanted behavior in their feline patients and pets. The recommendations in the Guidelines apply to all pet cats, regardless of lifestyle.
摘要：
指导原则：猫对环境的舒适程度与它的身体健康有着内在的联系，情绪健康和行为。对猫的物种特定的环境需求以及猫如何与环境相互作用有一个基本的了解将为解决这些基本要求提供基础。环境需求：满足环境需求对于猫的最佳福祉至关重要（不是可选的）。环境需求不仅包括与猫的物理环境（室内或室外；家庭环境或兽医实践）有关的需求，还包括影响社交互动的需求，包括对人类接触的反应。五“支柱”框架：作者小组围绕五个主要概念（“支柱”）组织了指南，这些概念为健康的猫科动物环境提供了框架。了解这些原则和猫独特的环境需求将有助于兽医，猫的主人和照顾者，以减轻压力，压力相关疾病的发生率，以及他们的猫科动物病人和宠物不想要的行为。准则中的建议适用于所有宠物猫,不管生活方式。
