When a cat is distressed, frightened, stressed or anxious, it is a complicated task to make it feel safe again.<\/p>\n

There are multiple factors that can trigger these states in felines, so knowing these 3 ways to calm a frightened cat<\/strong> are very useful.<\/p>\n

Especially for first-time owners or those who are just getting to know their new furry friend.<\/p>\n

The environment as a calming medium<\/h2>\n

The environment plays a key role in calming a cat<\/strong>. Depending on this, the cat may feel trapped or in a situation of imminent risk.<\/p>\n

Or on the contrary, you can feel safe and secure.<\/p>\n

The key to this aspect is hiding places, high places to position themselves and escape routes visible to the animal.<\/p>\n

An environment free of noise, lights or objects that may be intimidating is also important.<\/p>\n

If the cat has a high place to climb to feel safe and contemplate the situation, as well as a hiding place in case of a strategic retreat, it will calm down much faster in fearful situations.<\/p>\n

If the environment is comfortable and offers options, the cat will be more relaxed.<\/p>\n

People and their body language<\/h2>\n

People can function as a calming or stressor for the feline depending on their body language and actions.<\/p>\n

In these cases, you should avoid approaching the cat without warning<\/a>, and even more so when the cat tries to do everything possible to move away or defend itself.<\/p>\n

It is important that the person is calm and expresses this with their body, so that the cat can pick up on the signals.<\/p>\n

Slow movements, low tone of voice, no direct or abrupt approaches and no staring into the eyes is the main thing.<\/p>\n

The person should allow all first approaches to be made by the cat, except in life-threatening emergency situations, but still maintain a calm demeanor.<\/p>\n

The person should make his presence known, but without imposing it on the feline, which will make him feel accompanied but not overwhelmed.<\/p>\n

Diffusers of pheromones, herbs and other soothing elements<\/h2>\n

There are several tools specially designed as ways to calm a frightened cat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

One of the best known are artificial feline pheromone diffusers and essential oils such as lavender and honeysuckle.<\/p>\n

There are also particular foods that serve to calm a cat, as well as medications.<\/p>\n

However, all these tools should be used with prior recommendation of a veterinarian or specialist, especially medications and food.<\/p>\n
