Materiales y métodos. El material de investigación consta de datos obtenidos de cuestionarios realizados con 494 propietarios de gatos. Resultados. Entre los dueños de gatos, el 98,6 % mantuvo la comida para gatos en cajas cerradas y el 93,5 % tomó precauciones para evitar que sus gatos accedieran a los productos químicos domésticos. En este estudio, según las respuestas dadas por los participantes a las preguntas del cuestionario, se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre las opciones en cuanto a sus respuestas a todas las demás preguntas, a excepción de las respuestas dadas por los dueños de gatos a las preguntas sobre si utilizan mosquiteros para sus gatos en las ventanas y/o balcones de sus casas y la frecuencia de cambio de la arena higiénica de sus gatos (p<0,01). Conclusiones. Se determinó que la mayoría de los dueños de gatos en general eran correctos y adecuados en cuanto a sus actitudes y niveles de conocimiento durante el cuidado de sus gatos. Sin embargo, se ha determinado que los dueños de gatos no tienen suficiente y correcta información y preferencias sobre el uso de mosquiteros para sus gatos con fines de protección en las ventanas y balcones de sus casas, dándoles a sus gatos alimentos adicionales como chorizo, salchichón, chorizo.
