If a cat has health problems, the pet owner must take action immediately.

The pet should be shown to the veterinarian as soon as possible.

The problem is that furry creatures do not always “tell” their owner that they are feeling unwell.

Don't expect your cat to start screaming or meowing.

Most likely, your furry four-legged friend will behave completely differently.

Typical behavior of a cat when feeling unwell

Typically, cats in pain do not scream or meow.

They do not try to attract the owner's attention at all. On the contrary, they try to become less noticeable, they hide.

Why do sick cats exhibit this particular behavior?

The answer is simple: it's instinct. When cats are sick, they feel vulnerable and try to avoid being seen by anyone (after all, a potential enemy may be nearby).

Your cat is hiding in secluded places, not playing and refusing to eat? Take your pet to the veterinary clinic immediately!
