Preface

It is well known that cats are naturally timid, and not only that, they are also very sensitive animals. Things that we usually don't care about can make cats feel stressed. If the owner cannot relieve their stress in a timely manner, it may lead to depression in cats. Therefore, it is very important to understand the signs of cat nervousness and relieve their nervousness.

1、 Symptoms of Mental Stress and Melancholy in Cats

1. Anxious Cat

Anxious cats appear to have nervous tension, crouching low on the ground, some panting or shedding hair, tense body muscles, and dilated pupils, which are common symptoms of anxious cats.

2. Offensive behavior

A usually gentle and friendly cat may suddenly change its temperament, scratching and biting its loving owner. This abnormal behavior must have his reasons. It is highly likely that the cat is feeling unwell and should be taken to see a veterinarian. Sometimes cats can also vent their frustration by scratching furniture and biting through clothing.

3. Indoor signage site

Some changes in daily life, or the addition of a new cat to the house, can make him feel troubled and suppressed. In this case, he will urinate inside the house. Clean the wet area with disinfectant to remove the cat's odor and prevent it from running back to its old place to urinate.

4. Neurogenic modification

Some cats may show excessive pickiness towards their fur when suppressed, constantly licking and chewing on certain parts without any reason. This condition often leads to dermatitis, eczema, and even baldness. In response to this behavior of cats, veterinarians will administer sedatives to alleviate their anxiety and suppressed emotions.

5. Chewing woolen fabrics

Some Eastern cats (detailed introduction), especially Siamese and Burmese cats, sometimes enjoy biting wool sweaters or other knitted clothing. This behavior of returning to the kitten stage is also a result of some kind of repression.

2、 How to eliminate cat anxiety

When you first have a kitten, you may want to prepare a cute fluffy ball to catch its attention, but some kittens are naturally very shy and will hide in fear when you look at them. If you have this situation, then the following two suggestions may be helpful to you.

When kittens arrive at their new home for the first week, they tend to be cautious and appear very timid. However, as it gradually comes into more contact with people, this timidity will decrease a bit. Give it more space and don't always rush to get familiar with you. When it feels comfortable adapting to a new environment, it will be happy to get closer to you.

To relieve the cat's tension, you can first gently stroke it (initially, to prevent it from being caught, you can wrap it in a thick towel), gently touch its head, and speak gently to it. Set a fixed time every day to do this, and I believe your shy little cat will quickly trust you. This way, even if you don't wrap it in a towel, it will dare to let you stroke its head. You should know that in order to earn the trust and return of a kitten, you need to be patient enough!

Temptation can also have a miraculous effect on a nervous little cat. Try preparing a tempting and healthy meal for the kitten. When it forgets its fear and eats with relish, you can gently touch its head, but be gentle and not make too much movement. This also requires patience and perseverance from cat owners, as usually your pet will eventually accept and enjoy your caresses.

Cats are very human like animals, and they can perceive their goodness or badness. If a cat rejects you, you may feel threatened. You can approach the cat in a different way, gradually eliminate its tension towards you, and gradually the cat will accept you.
