Enrichment Preferences of FIV-Infected and Uninfected Laboratory-Housed Cats

Viruses, 10(7), 353.

By: C. Kennedy n, A. Thomson*, E. Griffith n , J. Fogle n, B. Lascelles, R. Meeker*, B. Sherman*, M. Gruen* 

author keywords: FIV; enrichment; welfare; feline; laboratory animal
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Laboratory; Cats; Feline Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome / virology; Immunodeficiency Virus, Feline / physiology
TL;DR: Cats used in a longitudinal study of the effects of chronic feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection were used and it was found that cats elected to be brushed, preferred social interaction and play with the laser to the ball, and preferred to scratch on an inclined-box toenail conditioning object compared to a horizontal, circular toenails conditioning object.
