Health & Behaviour survey for UK Cat Owners

Post by imogenwright1993 »

Hi there,

I'm in my 3rd year at the University of Lincoln studying BSc Animal Behaviour & Welfare, and am looking into the lifestyles of cats in the UK for my final year research project.
If anyone could spare 5 minutes of their time to fill out the questionnaire I'd be really grateful as it will help me a great deal, and in turn will hopefully provide some interesting data/information that hasn't yet been thoroughly researched!

Thank you for your time :)

completed, Imogen - but you haven't allowed for cats with access to a catproofed garden only, which is a pity, as it would be interesting to know what effect such restriction has on behaviour compared to free-roaming cats and indoor only

also with cats allowed free access by day but shut in at night

both situations are quite common amongst members of this forum

Thanks for your comment :) for anyone else who would like to do the survey, you can write any additional info you wish about your cat in the 'any other behaviours you'd like to mention' box.
Unfortunately I cannot alter the survey now as it would mean I would have to have 2 seperate data sets, however I will mention what you have said when I come to write up the results.
I'm mostly focusing on a possible correlation between health and behaviour, so any unusual behaviours or health issues your cats have had would be great to note down.

Thanks for filling in the survey too :) X
