Enjoy — you may learn something about Cats Protection at the same time. You might also like to visit their website.
I got 89% because I didn’t know they operate in Northern Ireland and I over estimated how many cats they have in their care at any one time. But now I know!
Some questions that relate to neutering vouchers, health and welfare advice might be good to add too and encourage people to seek out those things from CP.
Very good quiz Michael, I only got 89% as I got the numbers questions wrong first time.
It’s good that we can learn more this way and your quiz will hopefully encourage people to visit the CP website too.
Please take her quiz. Take your own. Just think for a moment what she has suffered. More than any one of us deserves 🙁
