Quality of Life Assessment

For Cats

Cats communicate differently than dogs, and end-of-life decisions for cats carry their own specific considerations. This assessment adapts the seven-category quality of life framework specifically for cats — accounting for feline hiding behavior, grooming changes, litter box mobility, and the subtler signs of pain and disorientation that cats often mask. Use it as a tool for reflection and as a foundation for a conversation with your veterinarian.
