Any cat owner needs to be able to recognize the first signs of nervous tension in their pet.
Stress in cats can manifest itself in many different ways. Below you will find the main warning signs.
Changes in social behavior
If you notice that a cat that used to be affectionate has suddenly started biting, this is a reason to sound the alarm. You should also seek help from a specialist if your pet suddenly starts fighting with other animals or has even hid in a far corner and does not want to contact anyone.
New eating habits
If suddenly your purr-cat began to eat more or, on the contrary, less than usual, take a closer look at it. Another sign of stress associated with food is that the animal may begin to try inedible objects with its teeth. For example, granules of litter for the tray.
In addition, problems with appetite can be associated with a number of diseases, so in such a situation you cannot do without consulting a doctor.
Digestive problems
Symptoms of nervous tension are loose stools, constipation, vomiting, etc. In addition, you should pay more attention to your pet if it starts ignoring the litter box.
The problems listed above may also be symptoms of a disease. Only a veterinarian can determine their cause.
