  1. Click ‘Get Form’ to open the animal behavior observation sheet in the editor.
  2. Begin by entering the animal number and description at the top of the form. This information is crucial for identifying the specific cat being observed.
  3. In the 'Observation' section, assess and select the appropriate stress score based on your observations. Use the provided categories (Green, Yellow, Orange, Red) to indicate the cat's stress level.
  4. Next, evaluate 'Sociability' by checking off whether the cat seeks friendly contact or shows signs of tension during interaction. This will help in understanding their comfort level.
  5. Proceed to 'Handling & Inspection'. Here, note how well the cat tolerates handling. Indicate if they are relaxed or show signs of arousal during petting.
  6. Finally, use the 'Notes' section for any additional observations that may not fit into predefined categories. This is an opportunity to provide detailed insights about your assessment.

An example of this type of procedure would be observing an animals behavior at a point in time every 5 min on the minute throughout a 12-h period. Typically, instantaneous sampling is used as a measure for studying states rather than events. This procedure can be used to study the behavior of an individual or a group.
For example, wolves and other predatory animals that hunt in packs learn hunting skills through observational learning. Young animals observe and copy the behavior of older animals when they hunt together. Another example of observational learning involves Japanese macaques (a species of monkey shown in Figure below).
There are four widely used sampling rules: focal animal, focal behavior, scan, and ad libitum. Researchers must determine if a single animal, a subgroup, the whole group, or a specific behavior should be observed.

Also, look at the feces and discharge from the animal if there is any, for signs of abnormalities. Establish a consistent method for conducting your daily observations.
