Research
Research grounded in the lived experience of cats.
TANDEM Cat® develops practice-based inquiry from high-volume feline care, translating real-world observations into testable questions, structured outcomes, and more responsive care systems.
Current study

Research priorities
Questions emerging from real care.
Grooming outcomes
How coat, skin, mobility, behavior, and quality of life change after structured intervention.
Stress and regulation
How handling, environment, sensory load, and caregiver response influence participation and recovery.
Continuity of care
How shared records, care plans, and early intervention affect stability across settings.
Research with operational discipline.
Study participation, consent, scheduled data collection, clinical observations, protected records, and deidentified exports are kept distinct from ordinary care records while remaining connected to reliable operational systems.
