How to Understand That Your Cat is Bored: 5 Telltale Signs

Not only humans, but also pets can experience boredom.

While an animal in the wild can find plenty of entertainment for itself, in a cramped apartment the choice is not so great.

This is why the pet starts to behave strangely.

1. Don't get angry if your pet suddenly starts acting up. Broken vases, soil scattered from flower pots, a torn sofa are just signs that a bored kitten is looking for something to do.

2. If your cat keeps raiding the kitchen and eating even when she is not hungry, think about what other entertainment you can offer her.

3. Be wary if your pet walks around the apartment tirelessly and meows. A cat can vocalize not only when it is bored, but also when something hurts.

4. If your pet is literally following you around, it is probably just bored and needs your attention. Try to play with your pet every day and do not chase it away – this will only make the situation worse.

5. It's time to sound the alarm if, due to stress caused by boredom, the cat began to constantly lick its fur. In particularly neglected cases, Murka may even tear out pieces of fur, swallowing them, which, as we know, will not lead to anything good.
