Practice Makes Purrfect

Your cat communication skills are pretty solid, but there's room for improvement. You're likely already spending time actively engaging with your cat (keep up the good work!), but a more proactive approach to understanding her will help you meet her needs in order to achieve optimal health. Be on the lookout for visual cues: does she have a shiny coat, a healthy weight, and a consistent appetite and temperament?

Mealtime is the number one time to address your cat's needs and a premium diet helps to support her health and ensure that shelives her best life. Find the purrfect formula for your cat at the IAMS cat food selector.

You're Totally Purr-plexed

It's clear that you love your cat—you wouldn't be taking this quiz if you didn't—but you don't speak cat just yet. But don't fret: with a little education, perhaps a conversation with the vet, and plenty of engaging one-on-one time with your cat, you'll be on your way to cracking the cat communication code. The most important step you can take in getting to know your caton a deeper level is to look for outward signs of her health, paying close attention to her appetite, temperament, weight, and coat.

Be proactive in your approach to supporting these needs by ensuring she has comfy spots for sleep, is getting plenty of exercise, and enjoys a premium dry-food diet like IAMS^™ Proactive Health which has the nutrition she needs to help support her overall health.
