Causes of cat depression:

1. Cats are timid. When unfamiliar people often come in and out of the place where the cat lives, it will make the cat feel uneasy and depressed. It is easy to suffer from depression after spending time in a highly stressful state.

2. Cats like to stay in one place for a long time. It takes time for cats to adapt to a new environment. If you keep moving, it will easily put a lot of stress on your cat's psychology and make you depressed.

3. Lack of companionship. Cats are relatively aloof creatures and generally do not need their owners to accompany them for a long time. However, if the owner basically has no time to accompany the cat, the cat will easily become depressed over time. The cat may think that the owner doesn't like it.

4. Nowadays, cats mainly stay at home, but owners also need to take them out for some air play occasionally. Cats can also suffer from depression if they remain in a depressing environment indoors for a long time.

Symptoms of cat depression:

1. Excessive licking. If your cat licks the same part of its body repeatedly, almost balding its fur and licking it until it becomes inflamed, this is the cat’s excessive licking behavior. Excessive licking is a sign that the cat feels stressed. The cat needs to lick it because of depression. This is how you express your emotions.

2. Cats suffering from depression will have sudden changes in personality. A kitten that used to be gentle, clingy, and coquettish suddenly becomes irritable, bites, and meows at you from time to time. This may be because it is sick or suffering from depression.
