It takes 1 to 5 days for a cat’s stress response to recover. Mild stress such as mild depression or mild loss of appetite will generally improve within 1-3 days. If obvious clinical symptoms occur due to stress reaction, including cough, runny nose, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., the recovery time for this type of situation is generally about 5-7 days.

Methods for dealing with cat stress reactions:

1. Let the cat adapt slowly. Prepare a quiet, cramped environment for your cat to stay.

2. Do a good job of comforting. Prepare items that the cat is familiar with, preferably items that smell like the cat or the owner.

3. Spend more time interacting with your cat. Appropriate exercise can increase the cat's load. It would be better to interact with the cat for a while at a fixed time every day. When interacting, you can use some snacks as assistance, and the cat will be happier.

4. Improve immunity. The stress response requires mobilizing the body's organs, which is very energy-consuming. Without strong resistance, the cat will easily wilt. It is recommended that the pet owner should supplement the cat with more nutrients to enhance its resistance.
