For more sensitive cats, any changes in their environment (such as an owner spending more time away, a new pet, a move to a new home, or a neighbourhood cat encroaching upon their territory) can lead to significant stress. ๐ฑ
However, compared to dogs, the feline signs of stress tend to be more subtle and may be easily missed.
Stressed cats may show symptoms such as:
โ๏ธ Hiding more
โ๏ธ A reduced appetite
โ๏ธ Inappropriate toileting (weeing or pooing around the house)
โ๏ธ Overgrooming
โ๏ธ Increased miaowing
If you notice any similar symptoms in your cat, weโd advise an assessment with our feline-friendly vets. ๐
