Keeping myself sane by mountain-biking every morning made me wonder if fellow bikers with cats might fill in my survey. Please?
Who?
A postgrad vet studying for a MSc in Applied Animal Behaviour and Welfare at Newcastle University.
What?
A short survey of British cat owners:
• aims to investigate the under-researched area of people’s understanding* of their cats’ behaviour.
How?
• Your help would be greatly appreciated for this important study
• less than 10 minutes to complete!
Where?
• http://www.surveymonkey.com/r/4catspls
All responses are completely confidential.
A summary of the research findings will be available on request in October.
Thank you!
*How people perceive and care for their cats may be a factor in the development of behavioural issues:
• a problem for the owner and/or a welfare issue for the cat.
Modern lifestyles and changing expectations may put pressure on the human-cat bond leading to more people giving up cats to rescue centres
