Symptoms of mental depression in cats

1. The easiest way to determine whether a cat is stressed is to look at the direction of its ears. Cats must be extremely stressed when their ears are pointed back all day. In addition, if a cat meows "aim-aim-" for no reason, has a fierce look in its eyes, bites something, and other gestures like it is about to fight, it may also be a sign of mental stress. In the past, I always went to the toilet in a disciplined manner, but now I suddenly urinate and defecate everywhere in the house, hair loss caused by excessive grooming, and severe hair ball disease, etc. are all caused by mental stress. In addition, mental stress also manifests as various symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, scratches, and bites. The degree of mental stress in cats can be understood by simply going to the hospital and passing a blood test to check the number of lymphocytes.

2. Cats are much more sensitive than humans. Trivial things such as owners being too busy to take care of it, neighbor construction, noise, tension with the new cat, dirty toilets, etc., may cause cats to become nervous. . Under its influence, there will be some abnormal behaviors, dust diseases, and illnesses that are difficult to recover from. For cats, a good mental state is not only related to mood, but also affected by physical condition. Therefore, even if the cat does something extraordinary, before scolding it for corporal punishment, you must first understand the reason and try to put yourself in the cat's shoes and consider what the cat needs. Abnormalities cannot be eliminated if the right medicine is not prescribed.
