Many people choose to raise cats instead of dogs because cats are not as clingy as dogs and can live without their owners accompanying them every day.

But in fact, even if cats are born aloof, they still need a certain amount of companionship. Cats who lack companionship may suffer from depression. Do you know what symptoms cats show when they suffer from depression? ​​​​​​

1. Don’t like to eat. Cats are the same as dogs. When they see what their owners are eating, they want to go up and ask for a bite. If they don’t get it, they steal it. But cats with depression will not be interested in the food no matter how delicious it is.

2. Cats sleep longer every day. Although cats sleep for a long time every day, especially in winter. But if it doesn’t like to move every day and doesn’t even interact with its owner, then you need to pay more attention.

3. The hair becomes less rough and sloppy. Cats are clean animals and will lick their fur to clean their bodies every day. However, if their fur becomes matted and very rough, the owner should be careful and see why they are not even in the mood to clean their bodies.

4. The owner is not interested in teasing it. Generally, cats will rush over excitedly when they hear their owner picking up their favorite cat teaser, eager to play with it. Even lazy cats will lie on the ground and keep scratching the cat teaser stick. But if the owner teases it and it doesn't feel interesting, then you really need to pay attention.

5. Sudden change in personality. A cat that is gentle and loves to act coquettishly suddenly becomes irritable and biting. It may be due to illness or depression.

If the owner does not take care of the cat for a long time, or suddenly changes to a new environment, the cat may suffer from depression.
