The solitary lifestyle of cats and male cats can lead to the fact that the owner simply does not notice the pet’s illness.

Cats don't like it when people interfere with their privacy, but sometimes you need to be persistent to get your pet to the vet in time.

Experts have named 4 main signs indicating that something bad is happening to your pet.

1. Lost appetite

Your cat may start eating less or stop responding to food altogether, even when offered something they previously couldn't resist.

The cause may be stress, injury or illness. A specialist will help to determine the cause, so it is better not to postpone a visit to the veterinary clinic.

2. The cat sleeps constantly

Cats love to sleep, but this is explained by the fact that pets are constantly on guard, so they spend most of their time sleeping, but not more than 16-18 hours a day.

The cause of drowsiness can be overeating, stress, illness, or pregnancy of the cat.

3. Meows frequently

This is how a cat can express fear, excitement, aggression, and may demand attention, food, water, or during the mating season.

In other cases, you need to go to the vet.

4. The cat is hiding

Seclusion is a normal state for a cat. But when a cat hides from a person and tries to do everything so that it is not disturbed, it is a sign of developing illness or stress.
