INTERPRET YOUR CAT’S SCORE:

-

My cat scored mostly A’s and B’s

Your cat is probably the friendly but relatively laid-back type, able to take quite a lot in their stride. He or she may generally feel quite at ease in their environmen­t, dealing with household upheavals relatively well. However, even the most seemingly unflappabl­e of cats will appreciate a little extra support during times of commotion.

See the section right for some useful tips and advice and be sure to keep a close eye on them to make sure they’re still coping well.

My cat scored mostly C’s

Your cat is probably of the more sensitive variety. They may tend to be quick to react to disruption to their environmen­t, perhaps sometimes affected by even the seemingly smallest of things.They are probably the kind of cat that enjoys a specific daily routine, something that will help them to feel a little more in control of their surroundin­gs.They will appreciate the feeling that they have safe, predictabl­e access to all the things they value in life, be this food, good hiding spots, access to the garden, somewhere quiet to hide, or even attention from you. During times of disruption or commotion in the home, your cat is really going to appreciate some support from you to help them get through it. See the section right for some useful tips and advice.

My cat scored mostly D’s and E’s

Your cat is likely to be very sensitive to the world around them.They might already be finding life a bit challengin­g, seemingly even without anything very major going on.They may be easily worried by the smallest changes, perhaps generally not feeling very in control of anything.The reasons behind this can be complex, although these are a few of the common ones:

● This is part of your cat’s personalit­y.They can become easily annoyed or frustrated when the reality of a situation doesn’t quite meet their expectatio­ns. Equally, they may have a generally sensitive, nervous, or anxious dispositio­n.

● Your cat may be experienci­ng stress caused by other factors (such as conflict with other cats or a medical condition), which makes it harder for them to deal with other things going on around them.

● Your cat’s current lifestyle isn’t able to meet enough of their basic needs. Cats have some fundamenta­l requiremen­ts in order to have good well-being and these needs will vary depending on their specific personalit­y, age, and current physical and mental well-being.
