hello Micigatti and MiceGatte! i have you ever seen your cat do this
grimace?
this is not particularly good for me but it is typical of many animals and of
this grimace and pheromones will speak to us in this seminar, Dr. Elena
Borrione who is a veterinary surgeon behaviorist then to all of you
good vision today we will talk about pheromones: the title
pheromones the invisible messengers of the cats, so I hope with this
presentation to be able to explain In the meantime, what are they, what is the purpose of the
pheromones and why they are defined as messengers. So let's start with what
these are pheromones: pheromones are of the molecules that have the peculiarity
to transmit chemical signals that I am able to change the
physiology and / or the behavior of a individual, who is obviously capable of
perceive them, because pheromones are species specific: those of the cat are of the
cat, those of the dog are of the dog, and via talking.
Pheromones represent a form of very ancient communication, so yes
talk about communication when we talk about pheromones, a communication
I said very old, used both in the plant world and in
the animal, then insects, fish, reptiles, mammals and among these
above all the carnivores have a greater number of facilities able to
produce these pheromones. What does it happen then as a type of communication?
it happens that if the bear Pow goes to steal the honey
in the hive in a moment it is found surrounded by bees ... why does this happen?
because the first bees they meet the bear pow easily recognize him
as a problem, as an enemy and they emit those that are pheromones of
alert, alert, alerting in time zero, it is a very message
immediate, it passes very quickly, here all the calls are recalled
other bees and in a moment the poor little bear is surrounded by one
cloud of insects and this happens all'ormetto but also happens to us if there
we approach a beehive, then a useful message useful in this case
as a defense. We pay attention because the pheromones
odoriferous molecules are not molines, we can not human beings perceive it
the smell, not they transmit messages of smell but they are
just just chemical messages. So they are so special that they come
perceived in a very precise part of the brain that is a part where it is
the emotions originate and take shape: the limbic system and here I would do one
little parenthesis: I talk about emotions, so I can also tell you that ours
cats, just like our dogs, exactly like our animals, they have
the ability to feel emotions. The we know today today because they are the same
structures that has the human being, the same structures that generate the
Our emotions are also ours animals, then
we also try our basic ones animals. Pheromones can be
transmitted through the air, through water, through the soil and through
solid supports, but I'll tell you a make that are also issued on
solid supports? we actually do that we live with our cats there
we see just for them peculiarities, because they lay them down
on home objects and then we'll see how. Before going over a little one
parenthesis on what is the flehemen: in flehemen is a facial expression
as he would say From "with that face a little so that expression a little like that "and it is
a typical and characteristic expression not only for our cats but for many
animals: so we have reproduced some,
we have the horse, but the equids in it general, we have the tapir, up there, the
tiger, giraffe, lion and we said is an expression that is produced by
contraction of some facial muscles, and the animals
they manifest this grimace. Why is this grimace produced? why
this type of gestures facilitates the passage of pheromones and causes
arrive just at that point of the brain that we have seen before, that is the
limbic system. And this is instead the face that assumes our cat when
takes this expression,
this flehemen and I think there is often happened to see the cat
sniff something and then stop one moment with that face with the
half-open mouth: in that case he was not smelling molecules
odoriferous but is perceiving i pheromones. Pheromones
deposited are numerous, so much so that they have not yet been
identified all. Cats have some glands that produce pheromones: they are
distributed in different parts of the body, those that are most significant
they are placed at the level of the cheeks, of the at the level of the legs and the area
perianale and we will see some today Of these. The facial pheromones are
certainly some pheromones that cover one some importance,
so much so that on the market are available some formulations of these that are
been reproduced, are synthesized. Obviously we have the portion f2 that is
that linked to sexual behavior, and therefore the one that is emitted before
of a urinary marking. Yesterday we also faced the
speech of communication then we had seen how in reality there is everything
a series of aspects that must be kept present when a cat communicates, then
we have one pheromonal communication, but we have
also a visual communication, for which the behavior of the door marking
with it also a whole sequence that is given by a posture that the cat assumes,
that is characteristic, but the sequence of marking starts right with the issue
of pheromones then when the cat is rubs on a particular structure and
then by doing "provocative" in general we read, turn around and then mark it
structure itself, we read it as a spite "He also has me
watched! He waited for him to look at him and then he has done "Actually all is part of one
sequence then the message must arrive, it must arrive clear, there is
need to mark it a little, excuse the word game, underline it
the importance. The portion f3 is that which the cat emits on objects and then
in the house we have the cat that rubs on the legs of the chairs, on the legs of the
tables, on the sofa and finally the portion f4 which is the one that is deposited on
living beings members of the family. They can be conspecific, therefore
other cats, or if we talk about extended family
we can also be with us or with others pets of course. Then we have
a component that there is a little less nice that the one that is deposited
at the interdigital level and therefore they are i
interdigital pheromones, are those that the cat emits when it is
do your nails on our beloved sofa, here too the importance of posture that
the cat adopts the moment when emits this type of marking
pheromonal: it is a posture that has a meaning, typically marking and
so this type of posture does sport to the cat to find where he prefers
lay them on vertical surfaces, find gods very high supports,
the cat takes a lot of postures stretched, tends to raise the legs in
so that there is also a message very clear visual and then leave gods
signs, leave marks that are well visible. In doing this they are issued
precisely these pheromones and also the marking that can also be
not emitted only vertically but also in horizontal, but also in that case
we would have a posture a little bit emphasized. Attention to resist
to the temptation to clean up all signs that our cat leaves at home
why this creates a certain destabilization
in the cat itself. For regarding facial markings,
although we can have the sofa in skin that over time assumes
some unpleasant colors, or the table leg that remains one
little marked, let's try not clean up, especially using gods
very strong detergents, what is it the height from the cat down,
and also with regard to the markings visual then scratches that aesthetically
they can give us a little bit of trouble, let's try to get a little meeting
to the cat, that is, we do not change the sofa every time the cat gets there
nails, rather let's get some resistant structures like scratching posts from
place in places near where usually the cat spoils the furniture, in
so that there are solutions alternatives. If the cat ruins us
in fact, the sofa did not change covered every week,
this because at the time when the cat does not find any more references
in the environment the tendency will be that of emit more, and always in presence
more numerous, this to try to find a little bit of emotional stability.
At the moment when the cat decides to choose certain surfaces where
issue the markings obviously choose those in which he manages to sink
the nails and where it can leave its mark, the legs of the metal table do not ... And it is
also the reason why sometimes we we find alternative solutions that
according to us they are valid, on the market there they are so many types of scratching posts, but not
it means that just because it is a scratching post this can please the cat: the
scratching posts must be something valid, ie a structure in which the
nails stick well, leave the sign, because otherwise there is not
satisfaction of, and above all must be a stable structure, those
scratches that we when we go into store we take and already all arrive
rickety at home, honestly .... we try the first time the
cat then clings, feels dancing and yes it is directed directly to the sofa, the sofa is
certainly much more stable, so we must also provide some
alternatives that are a little valid, sure if you have those chairs
stuffed or imitation leather ... or sacrifice because then
that's okay, even so, let's face it, they can also be accepted
as they are .... or they must of sow the points around the house.
Ddipende, then the moment in which in reality
we cut the nails to the cat so we can smooth it is obviously a temporary remedy,
it does not mean that the cat will not emit a marking and among other things then can
occur a paradoxical effect, ie the cat has a blunt nail, approaches
to the very dear home object, he does to issue the marking, issue one
marking that however is not as effective and so what the cat does is look for
to be more incisive, I do more frequently, so in
reality if we think about it we get the opposite effect.
I do not want to say that you do not have to cut nails to cats. To the cat
that comes out and therefore has possibility to access the environment
external generally we do not recommend cut your nails because it can not
to climb. The house cats is also true that they still do business, they go up
on our shelves, so they do not have need to climb, so maybe not
they even emit with all this incisive visual markings,
because they do not feel the need, in bottom alive in my house, where already there are
my places, where I have already put another type of markings such as facial ones,
so I'm going to blunt my nails and I have no problem. Or cats
that after they do this kind of activities, which undergo this type of
attention, of toilet, begin to become serial scratchers,
it depends on cats. Surely NO deungulation, that is
the removal of nails, practice that now it is forbidden by law from us in
Italy, but that if we go abroad we can still find, therefore
absolutely this yes that goes to harm what behavior is, affect
on what are also aspects psychological, because at that point the cat
he has no more chance of express his cat behavior. IS'
very sensitive to those that are variations not only environmental but also
social, so in that case there was a perturbation, it may be that the
kitten is particularly sensitive from this point of view.
In situations a little more soft like I said before on the market
we have the chance to have some ferormonal fractions of a synthetic type,
we have both the component that environmental, do not let me name names, but
did you understand what you are talking about, and both the component of marking
social, we have the two important fractions, but
that in the softer situations, where there is need for help can
be valid as a solution, that is, let's give a message to us, a message that
the cat was not able to emit, a bit as if we care a little, say the
truth. Not all situations are solvable with the foromono-therapy
we need to make other considerations, it can that in his case it is necessary
consider contacting an expert in behavior, a figure
professional like mine, a vet expert in behavior, that comes,
make an assessment of what it is the environmental and social situation, for
then establish what is right approach for that family system.
Thanks, therefore, to Dr. Elena Borrione for this seminar a lot
