You should try to be alert to changes in the cat's behavior. Changes can be a sign of distress, boredom, illness or injury, stress or fear. Signs to look for:
- High levels of grooming, hiding, sleeping or changing feeding/toilet habits, as well as indoor sprays indicate stress or fear.
- Unwanted habits such as aggression, indoor spraying, disappearance or avoidance of people suggest that your cat feels pain or intimidation.
best tips for cats to behave normally:
Cats can easily get scared, so make sure they can get everything they need (bed, water, garbage or outside) without passing through objects or other animals that can scare them away.
If your cat is frightened for no reason to escape and hide, he may become aggressive. Give them constant access to safe hiding places where they can escape if they are afraid.
Cats sleep for several hours a day, but when they are awake, they need opportunities to exercise. If they do not go out, make sure they are active.
Games are a good way for your cat to be active and have fun. Give safe toys and ordinary opportunities to play alone and with people. Puzzles or hiding dry foods are two great ways to entertain your cat at meal times.
Cats naturally use objects to scrape, mark territory, strengthen muscles and sharpen claws. To allow for this natural performance, provide sturdy scraper rods high enough for your cat to be fully utilized. This is especially important for indoor cats.
Kindness is the key! Never shout or punish your cat, it is very unlikely that he understands and may become more nervous or frightened.
The natural instinct of a cat is to hunt its prey, but it is a real concern that domestic cats affect the welfare of the local fauna. To prevent your cat from bringing unwanted surprises home and to protect local wildlife, we recommend:
Limit outdoor access at dusk and dawn when wildlife is most active, at least one hour before sunset and one hour after sunrise.
Limit outdoor access after bad weather, such as rain, to allow birds to go out and eat.
