Confirm the cat’s normal pattern
Record feeding, water, litter habits, favorite hiding places, play preferences and normal social behavior. A change from baseline may be more important than whether the cat greets you.

Check the environment

COMMON QUESTIONS
Practical answers.
What if the cat hides for the entire visit?
Follow the agreed hiding-place and welfare-check plan, look for normal food and litter signs and contact the owner when observations differ from expectations.
How often should the litter box be checked?
Check it at each scheduled visit unless the care plan specifies otherwise.
Should cat visits include play?
When the cat is comfortable, appropriate play and enrichment can be included according to the owner’s instructions.
