Figure 1.

Venn diagram of cats with a normal cutaneous trunci muscle reflex (CTMR) evaluated by three methods. The CTMR was elicited normally in 17, 27 and 16 cats, using methods A, B and C, respectively. In only seven cats, the CTMR was elicited normally with all three methods. Method A = pinch skin with haemostat forceps; method B = displace fur with the tip of a pen or haemostat forceps; method C = poke skin with the tip of a straightened paper clip
