Probably, every cat owner sooner or later will have to go on the road with their pet by car - be it a planned trip or a trip to the veterinary clinic.
As the experience of cat owners who have already passed this “test” shows, sometimes everything goes smoothly, but sometimes there are some difficulties.
For example, some pet owners have noticed that their cat starts breathing heavily in the car. Let's try to figure out what could be the reason for this behavior.
Stress
The cat may experience stress due to the unfamiliar environment of the car.
Overheat
It can be very hot in a car, especially if it is parked in the sun, which in turn can cause the animal to overheat.
Tight space
If your cat is in a confined space, such as the back seat of a car, she may not have enough air.
Allergy
A cat, like a person, can have an allergy. If we are talking about a car, then an allergic reaction often occurs to car materials or smells.
Diseases
Difficulty breathing may be a symptom of an illness, such as an upper respiratory infection.
Previously, we talked about what to do if your pet dog starts to behave aggressively.
