cat stretched out on furniture

Welcome to our dementia symptom checker

Have you noticed your older cat acting differently? This could be down to a number of reasons, one of which could be dementia (also known as cognitive disfunction). Up to 85% of dementia cases go undiagnosed, so to help you rule this out, take our questionnaire now.

Start

The following questionnaire is designed to evaluate any changes in the behaviour of your older cat.

It can help to identify whether they are likely to be due to a medical condition such as dementia, or simply a normal consequence of ageing.

When answering the questions, please only describe what you have seen in the past six months.

If you cannot answer a question for some reason, please leave it blank.
