Stress cat body languages

Do you know that your feline baby can get stressed like humans?

Due to moving to new places or moving home, a new pet family member, a disease or illness that causes distress in cats, or traumatic memories, your cats may get stressed.

What are the signs of stress shown in cats?

pee outside the box

hide from others

avoid eating

mood swings

aggression

over-grooming

The two most common cat stress body languages are peeing outside the box and aggression.

Do not be surprised if you find out that your cats have suddenly become short-tempered. You can help relieve their stress with natural remedies like petting, cuddling, playing and offering foods and toys.

However, we need to distinguish to get to the bottom of the problem between stress/mental health problems and physical health problems.

Sometimes the root cause may be due to disease/physical health. (e.g. Bladder stones, Cystitis, Metabolic disease, Infection, etc).

No matter what the source of the problem, make sure to understand them as almost all of cats need a quiet and peaceful place where they can get away sometimes.

We cannot deny that our cats are highly private and sometimes difficult to understand.
However, it is possible or not too difficult for us to understand

and take good care of our pet to make them very happy with us!
