Cat mobility quiz

We have a series of questions below about your cat’s activity levels and physical well-being.

This quiz is based on our cat mobility screening questions we use in the clinic, but it isn’t a replacement for a comprehensive vet consult. At the end of the quiz, we’ll let you know if your cat has any signs of mobility issues based on your answers.

At the bottom of the form, there’s an option for you to leave your name and contact phone number. Fill this in if you’d like us to call you back to discuss your cat’s results with you and ask further questions.

Physical activity

Is your cat reluctant, or no longer jumping up onto, beds or couches, or hesitating before jumping down?
Are they having difficulty with their grooming? Do they struggle to reach around, and do they have a matted, scruffy or greasy coat?
Have you noticed increased grumpiness, growling, hissing, flinching or moving away when handled or stroked?
Do they look thinner particularly in the hind legs and around the spine?
Have you noticed your cat's mobility getting worse in cold or damp weather?

Signs of lameness or mobility concerns

Have you seen any of these signs in your cat over the past six months?

Please tick all that apply. If you haven't seen any of these signs, please leave this section blank.

General mobility questions

Have you seen a vet before about your cat's joints or mobility?
Has your cat ever suffered a leg or joint injury?
Has your cat gained weight over the past 12 months?
