Tell us about feeding your cat
Tell us what cat food you buy, where you buy it, why you chose it, and what feeding your cats is like.
This survey is unpaid. It is for US adults aged 18+ who currently own a Maine Coon, Ragdoll or Norwegian Forest Cat and buy or help choose their cats’ food.
The $25 is for the interview only, not for this survey. We invite some owners, not everyone, to a 15-minute research interview. Every invited owner who completes the interview, including a quick look at their cat, receives $25. Extra time is optional. Filling in the survey does not mean you will be invited or paid. Payment method and timing will be confirmed before booking.
If we launch the product, interview participants will also be offered a free sample. Delivery details will be confirmed later.
Are you 18 or older?
Which US state do you currently live in?
Which of these cat breeds do you currently own?
Select all that apply. You may also own other cats. Choose None of these only if you do not currently own any of the three breeds.
Where did you most recently buy cat food or ingredients for homemade cat food?
Choose the channel used for your most recent purchase.
What is your role in choosing and buying cat food?
What types of food have your cats eaten in the last 7 days?
Choose as many as you like.
Your cat-food spending
A rough guess is fine.
About how much does your household spend on cat food in a typical month?
How many cats does that feed?
If your usual cat food went up 20% in price, what would you most likely do?
Which cat-food brands and products did you buy most recently?
List the main brands and recipes/products, plus the store or website if you remember. If you prepare food at home, tell us what you made or the main ingredients you bought for your latest batch. “Not sure” is fine.
Why did you choose that food or feeding approach?
A few words are enough, or share more if you like. Think about the most recent choice you made, rather than what you might choose in future.
Where do you go for advice about your cat’s food?
Tick any that apply. Optional.
Your feeding experience
A few words are enough, or share a recent example. “No current challenge” is a valid answer. Both questions are optional.
Roughly what is your household’s total income a year, before tax?
Optional. It helps us understand who we are making food for. You can choose “Prefer not to say”.
What is your first name?
Optional. You can leave this blank if you only want to complete the survey.
What email address should we use about this research?
Leave this blank if you only want to complete the survey. An email address is needed if you want an interview invitation.
If you have provided an email address, can we use it to contact you about this study and interview scheduling?
Choosing Yes does not guarantee an interview or $25. We invite some owners, not everyone. Choose Yes if you would like to be considered and have provided an email address. Otherwise, choose No to finish the unpaid survey. If you are picked, you will get a private booking invitation. Every invited owner who completes the 15-minute interview receives $25; extra time is optional and does not affect payment. Payment method and timing will be confirmed before booking.
Before research questions, we’ll briefly confirm eligibility and ask you to show your cat on camera or share a recent cat photo. No ID or pedigree documents are needed. Your opinions and recording permission do not affect payment.
Your answer here is not marketing consent. You can decline further contact by replying.
Thank you for your interest
This first study is for adults living in the 50 US states or DC who currently own a Maine Coon, Ragdoll or Norwegian Forest Cat and make or share cat-food buying decisions.
Thank you
Your owner survey is complete. We will not contact you about an interview.
Your answers still help us understand how big-cat owners choose their food.
Thanks — your owner survey is complete.
Thank you for sharing your food choices and feeding experiences. The survey is unpaid.
We will only email you if you are picked for an interview. If you do not hear from us, you were not picked this time. The survey itself is unpaid; the $25 is only for the 15-minute interview, and any extra time is optional. Payment method and timing will be confirmed before booking.
If we launch the product, interview participants will also be offered a free sample. Delivery details will be confirmed later.
