From the article:
"When your cat folds back its ears, closes its eyes, puts its whiskers forward or tucks its head between the shoulders, it's most likely a sign that it's feeling pain. But how much pain?
Thanks to research done at Université de Montréal, veterinarians can now assess that with a new tool: the Feline Grimace Scale."
