Add up all your Yes
answers to get your cat-itis score
8 or less: You have caught the bug, but are still relatively sane. Just
give it time.
9-16: You have a mild case of cat-itis. Seek no medical treatment there is
no cure. Now is the time to begin playing with cat toys and seeking new toys
around the house. Work on that meow, the tone is slightly off.
17-26: Your condition is severe. Cats have a firm hold on your life. This
is the point where anything cat is more interesting than people. Your purr may
still need work though.
27+: You are now an honorary cat, you may groom yourself when and where you
please. You have the purr and meow down pat. It is not unusual to find
yourself thinking as a cat.
