The fact that our beloved pets are capable of experiencing stress has been scientifically proven.
Sometimes the reasons can be objective: renovations at the neighbors’, a crying child behind the wall, or a move.
We cannot influence these factors. However, sometimes we ourselves become the cause of our pet's upset.
What Owner Habits Can Trigger Stress in a Cat
Inconstancy
If you first sit at home for days and then disappear for a whole day or more, the cat begins to worry and get nervous. Animals love consistency and routine.
But your unpredictable "absences" can seriously upset the cat.
Therefore, experts do not recommend leaving your pet alone for long periods of time.
Lack of schedule and timetable
Since cats love order and system in everything, they feel comfortable when their owner has a schedule. This means that everything goes as planned and there is no reason to worry.
Therefore, try to go to bed and wake up at the same time, and also be punctual in matters of feeding your pet.
Frequent rearrangements
Cats do not take changes very well, so they take a long time to get used to them. Therefore, you should not do remodeling and rearrangements too often.
Also, do not change your pet's place or move the tray: this can also be quite a nerve-wracking factor.
