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.
