CATDOLL : How to tell if your cat has symptoms of stress

Symptoms of stress in cats:

1. A cat's stress response will cause symptoms such as flying ears, ruffled fur, rapid breathing, and gasping with an open mouth.

2. Some cats may have symptoms of stress response such as hiding, refusing to eat or drink, being listless, having loose stools, and vomiting.

3. Cats’ stress responses and aggressive tendencies can be seen in their facial expressions and body postures.

4. Severe stress reactions may cause problems with the cat's urinary system, and Ken may suffer from liver diseases. In the most serious cases, the cat may have an accelerated heartbeat, convulsions, difficulty breathing and rapid death.

How to relieve cat stress:

1. Provide a quiet environment. You can put the cat in a relatively small and dark box to keep it quiet. Do not disturb it and let it rest on its own.

2. You can bring the items that the cat used before to the new home. This can give the cat a certain sense of familiarity and help it slowly adapt.

3. You can put some catnip and pheromones in the room to relieve your cat’s anxiety.

4. If your cat has symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea, you can add an appropriate amount of probiotics to the cat's food to regulate the gastrointestinal environment, which will help relieve the cat's symptoms.
