Helping a Stressed Cat
Try to maintain a predictable routine for:
- Feeding
- Playtime
- Sleeping
- Interaction
It can also help to provide a quiet, comfortable area where your cat can retreat when it feels overwhelmed.
Some owners also use feline pheromone products to help reduce stress.
7. Food and Attention Somewhere Else
Sometimes a cat discovers another place where it receives food, warmth, or attention.
A friendly neighbor may unknowingly begin feeding the cat.
If the cat feels comfortable and rewarded there, it may start spending more time at that location.
