Score how itchy your cat is from 0 to 4, then bring the number to your appointment.
Visual analog itch score
How itchy is your cat?
Read each description and pick the number that best matches your cat’s usual itching and grooming.
Severe Itching
My cat is obviously uncomfortable due to excessive or constant itching.
Frequent Itching
My cat is itchy, uncomfortable, and easily agitated.
Moderate Itching
My cat seems slightly more itchy, uncomfortable and more agitated than normal.
Tolerable Itching
My cat remains calm, but still grooms/itches more than I consider normal.
Normal Cat
My cat is comfortable, only grooming like a normal cat.
Scoring in three steps
Start at the top and read down until one sounds like your cat.
Each number from 0 to 4 has its own description.
Share the number with our team at your appointment so changes can be tracked over time.
