Frustration in cats is an emotional state that arises when a cat is unable to achieve a desired goal or when their expectations are unmet.

Common Examples of Frustration are:
1) Unable to access food, water, litter boxes, or a certain space.
2) Boredom and lack of stimulation.
3) Desire for attention or interaction with their owner.
4) Changes in routine.
5) Conflict with other pets in the household.

When a cat becomes frustrated, especially consistently, you may notice these signs:
-Vocalizing: especially persistent meowing towards the owner.
- Restlessness: Pacing, circling, or not being able to settle
- Destructive Behaviors: Scratching the furniture or knocking items off a table/shelves.
- Swatting or scratching the owner as the owner approaches or walks by.
- Disengaging in normal behaviors and keeping to themselves.

Understanding and addressing frustration is vital to promoting a cat’s mental well-being and preventing stress-related issues.
