Sharing this here to provide some perspective. Veterinary teams work really hard and have super tough jobs. Please be kind!

A lot of people think veterinarians have such a fun job. However, the field has many stressors that can lead to a tragic outcome.

Such a great article, by one of the best Chris Pachel and DVM360.com! So many important points covered here, including why it's so important to see the Veterinarian when noticing any sort of behavior changes. We can work together on the behavior modification and environmental plans and if that doesn't resolve our issues, we can work together with your Veterinarian on potential medication therapy.

Management of stress-associated conditions in cats should utilize a multi-pronged approach including ensuring basic needs are met, environmental enrichment, behavior modification, and the considered use of pharmaceuticals or supplements.

Want to learn more about your relationship with your cat? Take this fun, online survey conducted by The University of Lincoln in the UK. Thankfully, I have a healthy friendship with my crew. Well... My Siamese, Bear, might be a little needy/codependent.

What do you get on your quiz?
https://www.lincoln.ac.uk/home/cat-quiz/

"The Friendship
The owner is emotionally invested in the cat (worries about the cat, sees him/her as a good friend or a part of the family) and will often find time to play with the cat; the cat is very warm and friendly towards the owner (will often sit on the owner’s lap), who is seen not only as part of the same social group (the cat will regularly lick the owner’s hands and face) but also as a secure base (someone to seek out for comfort when the cat is worried).

The cat relates well to others (will greet or inspect visitors coming to the house and possibly even visit some neighbours).

Alongside the friendly and warm relationship, cat and owner can happily function independently. This cat likes to be near the owner but doesn’t feel a need to maintain physical proximity to the owner (doesn’t always follow the owner around the house and may even take him/herself away to a preferred location) and separation is not likely to be problematic.

This relationship seems to occur more often in busy households with more than one cat, and the cats often have some outside access."
