How does a cat behave when something hurts?

Lack of desire to play, as well as a general change in external condition - lethargy, inactivity or, conversely, increased activity, anxiety can also be signs that the cat is in pain.

Therefore, if you notice any significant changes in your pet's behavior, contact your veterinarian immediately.

You can confirm your suspicions by examining the cat's nose.

The discharge should be clear. If the discharge is foamy, thick, yellow, green or even black, you should definitely take your pet to the vet for an examination.

Canadian company Sylvester.AI has introduced the Tablely app, which determines whether a cat is in pain and can also be used to diagnose an animal.

What do sick cats look like?

When a cat is sick, its behavior changes.

He becomes lethargic, lies down more than usual, looks sad, tries to hide in a quiet, dark place, reluctantly responds to calls or, on the contrary, is overly excited, constantly moves around the apartment, meows plaintively or shows aggression.
