How to understand that a cat is bored: the pet will behave like this

A bored cat will do anything to get your attention.

Therefore, the first sign that an animal is bored is its “hooligan” behavior, which can harm any thing left in plain sight: be it a stack of papers, a cup left on the table, or a flower pot.

Another symptom of cat boredom is scratching furniture and carpets. In this case, the pet is most likely tired of the scratching post at its disposal, and is looking for a way to diversify its leisure time.

In addition, the cat can find new entertainment in regular visits to the refrigerator.

There is another extreme – hunger strike, which, unfortunately, is often observed in pets who are forced to sit locked up for days on end without the opportunity to release energy and emotions.

Finally, another sign that should make you wary is when a cat licks its belly down to the bare skin.

This behavior may be a sign that the kitten is bored, but it may also indicate allergies, severe stress, or another dangerous illness.

In any case, if you have discovered any of the above-mentioned signs in your four-legged friend, you should start paying more attention to him, and if necessary, see a specialist.
