❤️🩹 Today is ❤️🩹
It can be tricky to notice the signs that your cat is stressed and many cats show stress symptoms differently.
Some more common signs could be:
🙈 Hiding and becoming more withdrawn
😾 Becoming less tolerant or 'acting out'
🚽 Being reluctant to use the litter tray or toileting outside of it
🫧 Excessive grooming
🧥 Matted or scruffy coat
🍽️ Eating too little or too much
Sometimes a few simple changes can help to relieve your cat's stress, for example:
🤗 Make sure your cat's basic needs are covered - clean food and drink bowls and litter tray, scratching post and a place to have a restful sleep
🥰 Give your feline some space - they will come to you when they would like to socialise
🤝 Try not to handle them if they don't seem keen - read your cats body language
❤️🩹 Help them handle changes before they happen - this can include setting up a 'safe room' with all the familiar items.
If you're worried about your cats behaviour or stress levels, it's always best to contact your vet. Your vet can help you identify the reasons, and offer the correct support and treatment🩺
