🐾 Spot the Signs: Stress in Cats 🐾
Cats are masters at hiding discomfort but stress can lead to illness and behavioural issues, especially in a new environment of a cattery. Here’s what to watch for:
❎Common Stress Signals:
• Hiding or Avoiding Interaction
• Excessive Grooming or Hair Loss
• Dilated Pupils & Flattened Ears
• Tail Flicking or Tucked Close
• Changes in Appetite or Litter Box Habits
✅What to Do:
• Provide quiet spaces and hiding spots
• Avoid forcing interaction, let cats approach on their terms
• Use pheromone diffusers or calming techniques
• Monitor for ongoing signs and consult a vet if needed
💡 Train staff to recognize subtle signs as early intervention prevents bigger problems.
Happy cats = happy customers! 🐾
