Professor Paulo Steagall talks pain with us in the latest catcafe podcast. Sometimes it is difficult to recognize if your cat is in pain, and he answers the question if cats feel as much pain as we do? Did you know that you can recognize pain in cats by looking at the cat's grimace? The cat grimace scale is a tool to help vets and clients to ascertain how bad acute pain is in our feline friends. Paulo works at the University of Montreal in Canada.
