| Study Period | K1a | K2a | K1 and K2 Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group | Median (Range) | Median (Range) | Median (Range) |
| Placebo | 36 (19–52) | 19 (6–45) | 55 (26–97) |

K#, kennel‐housed period number. Median represents the 6 kittens’ total stress scores in each group, per kennel period and per both kennel periods combined. Range represents the lowest (minimum) and highest (maximum) among the 6 kittens’ total stress scores in each group.
a
n = 84 observations: 14 observations per 6 kittens per 2‐week study period per group.
b
Unadjusted P values from Wilcoxon rank sum test are displayed for the comparison between groups.
c
Statistical significance: P < 0.05.
