It has become an elemental part of feline practice with ultimate benefit to feline health and welfare. Currently pain assessment involves mostly the investigation of sensory-discriminative (intensity, location and duration) and affective-motivational (emotional) domains of pain. Specific behaviors associated with acute pain have been identified and constitute the basis for its assessment in cats.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Recent advances:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The publication of pain scales with reported validation \u2013 the UNESP-Botucatu multidimensional composite pain scale and the Glasgow feline composite measure pain scale \u2013 and species-specific studies have advanced our knowledge on the subject. Facial expressions have also been shown to be different between painful and non-painful cats, and very recently the Feline Grimace Scale has been validated as a tool for acute pain assessment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical challenges:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite recent advances, several challenges still exist. For instance, the effects of disease and sedation on pain scoring\/ assessment are unknown. Also, specific painful conditions (eg, dental pain) have not been systematically investigated.
