RAMOS, I. F. B. (2015). Population management of cats (Felis silvestris catus): a behavioral approach. Master ́s Dissertation, Graduate Program in Psychobiology, University of São Paulo. Ribeirão Preto/SP. The exponential growth of cats population (Felis silvestris catus) is favored by behavioral plasticity of the species and its capacity for social organization in colonies. Animals belonging to unmanaged colonies have the health and welfare committed, are possible backers of pathogens and parasites (including zoonoses), and represent a potential threat to wildlife in the area where they are located. Although these issues are of public and scientific knowledge, most studied cases regarding the control of the population of cat colonies are concerned, above all, to reduce the number of individuals of the colonies. In order to provide better health conditions to cats, ensure their welfare, and contribute to public health of the surrounding human population, further studies are needed to investigate the impact of castration on the population dynamics on the geospatial distribution and on the use of space for the animals. Therefore, this study aimed to: 1. estimate the area of use of a population of cats submitted to TNVRM methodology; 2. check for size difference of the use of areas for groups; and 3. verify the perception of the surrounding human population of the study area on topics related to animals. Our results suggest that the spatial arrangement of subjects varied primarily as a result of the points where the feed area was offered. Found high incidences of cats resting, defecating and feeding up in areas close to the intense movement of people, which is a worrying fact considering the spread of zoonoses fees related to these animals. In addition, we notice that although the animals of this study are stray cats in an University campus, the knowledge of humans who attend this area was considered scarce regarding the issues investigated in this study. Thus, to increase the effectiveness of population control programs, we concluded that more planning on the form and the places where the food is offered would be important, and the concomitant need for educational campaigns about abandonment, castration, zoonoses, wellness and animal rights into the human population surrounding areas studied.
