Now, the questions are behind you; it’s time to settle the answers! Count all the points you’ve gathered along the way and see at what level your purr-fect relationship stands:

20-15: They’re the one! You and your cat have a vibe that many fabCats can only dream of. No arguments about early wake-ups, kicked-out litter, disappearing chicken pieces from the counter… Your meowing love has no equal.

14-7: You’re doing well! Perhaps it’s not a Hollywood-style meowing love, but we predict a wonderful future for you. Even if you sometimes have disagreements, you always end up on the couch together, forgetting about that unplanned 5 AM wake-up.

6-0: You still need to work on it. Although both you and your cat have the best intentions, it seems that a long journey awaits you before reaching great meowing love. But every cloud has a silver lining – perhaps thanks to the quiz, you already know what’s worth working on? We believe in you!
