Hi Emily, thanks for your question. Applying gentle pressure above the knee (in the absence of a painful area) enables us to look for a general response to being touched (as opposed to the response to head to tail stroking whilst calling the cat’s name) It allows us to see if they are sensitive to being touched or if allodynia is present. I hope that helps.
Hayley
