Cómo RELAJAR a un GATO ESTRESADO 🐱 ¡Reduce el Estrés en Gatos!

Today on Animal Expert, we are going to discuss a series of points and considerations that must be taken into account if we have a stressed cat. First, take care of its diet. Among the many balanced cat foods that we can currently find, some are specifically designed to support nutrition during times of stress. A stressed organism has slightly different nutritional requirements and needs more energy to cope with the state of alertness that stress causes. Therefore, it is highly recommended to change the cat's diet so that this can be an extraordinary help in treating stress. Obviously, any change in the cat's diet must be done gradually to avoid digestive complications. Second, offer it a safe and calm environment. Your cat lives with other animals. This can aggravate stress and even be the cause of it. If we detect that the company of other animals aggravates the feline's stress, it will be necessary to keep the animals separated for a while until the cat is more recovered. It may also be necessary to work on the behavior of the other pets. Discover the causes that cause stress in cats in the video that we have included in the card. 3. Clean their litter box well. We know that cats are extremely fastidious animals with cleanliness and are very polished. Therefore, a dirty litter box can be one of the triggers of stress in cats. To reduce it, we will have to check the condition of the cat's litter box daily and maintain it in the best possible way. This will prevent the cat from becoming stressed by how it is. 4. Spend more time with it Every day, you should find a quiet space to be with your cat for a good amount of time. During this time, talk to it in a soft voice, give it all your affection and play with it always, watching for any aggressive behavior that may occur. Since this should not be allowed, playing with your cat will give your pet an excellent tool to manage stress since the best remedy for this condition is to keep the cat active as a way of channeling the state of alertness that its body is suffering. 5. Try natural therapies Stress is a condition that responds particularly well to natural therapies and this gives us the opportunity to improve our cat's quality of life in a way that is completely respectful of its body. We can choose to give our cat various natural tranquilizers such as pheromones, which allow the cat to feel that its environment is under its control and territory. Other equally suitable options are bac, flowers and homeopathy. We recommend that you do this under the supervision of a holistic veterinarian. 6. Visit the vet. A stressed cat can present multiple health problems from infectious diseases to alopecia, allergies, and various skin disorders. Therefore, it is essential for a veterinarian to assess the cat's state of health in order to start drug treatment in those cases where it is necessary. Another important reason to initially visit the vet is that stress can be caused by a physical illness, and it is important to rule out this as the underlying cause. 7 Create an anti Stress corner Create a place where the cat can be more secluded and calm. For example, some cats like to hide or be under surfaces, so it's not a bad idea to create a kind of cave or hut for them. Even so, be careful that the cat doesn't feel cornered and under no circumstances lock them in. Eight Let them mark. Although not excessive, marking in cats helps them to distress and turns an unfamiliar place into something familiar. If you see them rubbing against furniture or marking with their paws, allow them to do so. 9 Use relaxing music. Stress in cats can be caused by noises that are too loud for them, such as construction work or a baby crying. For this reason, try playing relaxing music for cats or white noise. Be with them and see how they react. Above is a video with relaxing music for stressed cats. Don't hesitate to try it. 10 distribute their toys. If you see that they have a favorite spot or spots, you can leave their utensils and toys around them. That way, if there's a place where your cat is scared they but finds their personal item, they'll feel more secure and probably relax.
