Fear and stress are common underlying causes of behavior problems in cats. Signs of fear in cats include ears laid back or flattened against the head, crouched body posture, tail tucked under the body, and legs tucked under the body.

Cats exhibiting an arched back, straight up tail, and bristled hair are called the "Halloween Cat" and are more likely to become aggressive if the source of their fear is not removed. It's best to avoid interacting with cats exhibiting these aggressive postures.

Dental disease can affect your pet's quality of life too. By three years old, most cats and dogs already have some form of dental disease.

Watch out for early signs like bad breath, tartar buildup, and swollen gums. Early detection is important to prevent chronic pain and inflammation.

Show your pet some love by scheduling their preventive care exam with regular dental evaluations at least once a year.
