Quick answer
For cats, PetSignalAI weighs ear angle, pupil size, tail position, body height, whisker tension, and whether the cat can retreat.
Input situation
A cat is under a chair after visitors arrive. The owner wants to know whether the cat is just resting or stressed.
- Single indoor photo
- Visitor context
- Cat partially hidden
- No eating or litter box data included
Visible signals PetSignalAI would check
The model would avoid interpreting one feature alone and instead compare the whole visible posture.
- Ears sideways or flattened
- Large pupils outside obvious low light
- Tail tucked close
- Body held low with weight back
Example output
Likely interpretation: defensive stress or environmental anxiety. Suggested action: stop approaching, reduce noise, allow hiding, and monitor appetite and litter box use.
- No forced interaction
- Context-aware advice
- Vet prompt if illness signs appear
What this example cannot prove
The image cannot diagnose illness. If hiding, appetite loss, or litter box changes are present, veterinary evaluation matters.
