Abstract

Objectives The objective of this study was to compare the use of the feline Glasgow Composite Measured Pain Scale (CMPS-f) at home and in a veterinary hospital. The hypothesis was that pain-free cats would score higher in the CMPS-f when in a stressful situation than when calm and relaxed; that is, healthy but stressed cats could appear to be in discomfort or pain. Methods Healthy, non-painful adult cats owned by clinical staff were included in a prospective clinical trial with two observers (caregiver [CG] and researcher). Cats were scored by their CG at home (H), after arrival at the clinic
