Carrying Out a Stress Review of a Cat’s Home Environment
When I have been asked to help a cat with behavioural problems, I always carry out a stress review of their home and surroundings. This helps me identify whether there is anything that might be causing stress and enables me to provide advice and recommendations to their caregivers so they can create an optimal environment for their cat.
Here is a template of a stress review with a column for you to complete for your own cat or for cats that you are helping in a professional capacity. The template was created to supplement ‘Carrying Out a Stress Review’ in Chapter 8: The Fundamentals of Behaviour Analysis of my book A Professional’s Guide to Feline Behaviour: Understanding, Improving and Resolving Problems.

A Professional's Guide to Feline Behaviour
Understanding, Improving & Resolving Problems
A Professional's Guide to Feline Behaviour is an invaluable resource for the feline professional, yet written in such an accessible way that it would be of interest to anyone who shares their life with a cat and wants to gain a deeper understanding of their behaviour. The book is presented in easy-to-navigate sections, each packed with practical advice and the colour illustrations, tables and graphics throughout make it approachable for every type of reader.
