As felines, cats have a special sensitivity to change. This causes your cat to be nervous or stressed in a variety of situations.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Learning to recognize your cat&#8217;s signs of stress is part of the daily coexistence you can have with your pet. Remember that many cats tend to have a solitary and territorial side and if this is affected, he could become nervous.  <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Signs of a nervous cat<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A nervous cat will give off some signals that you can quickly recognize. For example, if your cat exhibits some behavioral changes, it could be a sign of stress. Other symptoms that will let you know your cat is nervous are as follows:  <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your cat is apathetic or shying away from contact<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stop playing as usual<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Changes in the way you eat or stop eating<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Changes in body attitude such as bristly fur, ears tilted on the head and stiff whiskers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another bodily symptom is a tense or stooped posture.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A nervous cat may snort, growl or meow constantly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your cat has dilated pupils, pay attention.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Excessive scratching or licking is a symptom of stress in your cat.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cats are territorial, but if he marks his territory in an unusual way outside his litter box, it&#8217;s a sign of something more<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Damage to furniture, curtains or even toys can also show that your cat is having a hard time.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Calming your cat&#8217;s stress<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cats are sensitive to change and are also often very vulnerable to stress. The reality is that there are several factors that are capable of upsetting your kitty. The arrival of another pet in the household or a new family member could be a cause. But also holding a celebration or even a change of furniture could stress your kitty.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, a move is also a stress factor and is probably unavoidable. However, there are some things you can do to help calm your feline pet&#8217;s stress when he gets nervous.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first thing to do is to identify the cause of the stress and find a solution if possible. If it is the arrival of another pet, try to make the change as smooth as possible. You could introduce them a little at a time until they get used to each other&#8217;s presence. Also provide separate feeders and drinkers.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When faced with a nervous cat, try not to overwhelm it or force it, because you could obtain the opposite result to the one you are looking for. Chances are that by simply being alone for a while in a quiet room, he can calm down on his own. You can also try approaching him slowly, using a calm voice. Let me smell your hands first.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another option is to sit some distance away and offer him a treat. This way you will let him be the one to approach you.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In general, treating your cat with respect, patience and affection will prove to be the best solution. Always avoid nagging or yelling at him, as this will not work.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Image courtesy of https:\/\/pxhere.com, all rights reserved.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cats can be very affectionate with humans, but they also tend to have their own character traits.
