Stress is the cause of all chronic diseases. All living beings are subject to stress, not just humans.
And pets are no exception to this list. We will tell you what signs indicate stress in a cat, as well as how to avoid unpleasant consequences.
Cats and Stress
Signs can be physical and behavioral. The former include problems with the pet's well-being. Vomiting or diarrhea may occur, appetite may be lost, sleep duration may increase or decrease, and other signs may occur.
Behavioural behaviour includes “hooligan” behaviour: the animal may stubbornly damage furniture, go to the toilet past the litter box or wherever it wants, meow loudly at night, hide, and refuse to be picked up.
Reasons
Cats are domestic creatures. They do not like to change their habitat and any move is stressful for them. The same thing will happen if you move another pet into the apartment or if a small child appears in the house.
How to treat
The first step is to determine the source of stress and eliminate the possibility of its influence on the pet. If the animal's condition has not returned to normal for a long time, it should be taken to see a veterinarian.
