How to understand that a cat is stressed: the reasons that cause it
There may be more reasons for your cat to be stressed than you think.
Therefore, it is important to identify the causes in time in order to help the animal cope with it.
Let's figure out why your pet might feel unwell.
Stress in cats: symptoms
When an animal is stressed, it behaves in the following way:
- rushes from corner to corner;
- can't go to the toilet;
- behaves apathetically and refuses his favorite food;
- scratches the skin, etc.
This behavior of a cat can be caused by various reasons. For example, a sudden change of environment, such as moving, rarely affects the animal's body without consequences.
Stress can also be caused by a pet feeling unwell due to illness.
A routine visit to a veterinary clinic is a routine for humans only. For most animals, the trip is also stressful.
The cat could also have been frightened by something, for example, unexpected guests.
Therefore, if the animal’s stressful state continues, you should definitely show it to the doctor.
