Our meowing pets are endowed with fine hearing. Their abilities are so developed that cats are able to catch the slightest rustle.

This “superpower” also has a downside: any loud noise can really scare the animal.

If something falls, breaks, or buzzes loudly in the apartment, fear makes the cat hide in the farthest corner.

Such stress does not pass without leaving a trace for pets.

If nothing is done, the cat may lose its fur, lose its appetite, suffer from health problems and develop problems with the toilet.

Of course, no owner would like to face such undoubtedly negative consequences. Therefore, it is in his own interests to provide the animal with all possible assistance.

How to calm a cat

After experiencing stress, the pet must be taken to a separate room with closed windows and doors.

Make sure that the cat has enough places suitable for hiding. These can be beds, houses, boxes, etc. At the same time, if there is more than one animal in your family, you must be sure that another pet, which carries a potential danger, does not get into the house of the "victim".

You must do everything possible to surround Murka or Barsik with care and attention.

Talk to your pet in a quiet voice while stroking his back.

If the kitten is still very small, you can play active games with it - of course, if the pet shows desire.

As a consolation, you can offer your pet his favorite treats.
