Symptoms of cat depression:

1. When a cat hears its owner pick up a favorite cat stick, it will rush over excitedly and can’t wait to play, even if it is lazy Cats will also lie on the ground and scratch the cat stick. If the cat is not sick, does not like to interact with its owner, and prefers to hide and sleep, it means that the cat is a little depressed.

2. Cats usually lick their fur to bathe themselves and keep themselves clean and hygienic, but licking their fur is also a way for cats to relieve stress. If your cat starts licking its fur for a long time, and licks very hard, and can even lick itself bare, it means that it may not be in a good state of mind recently.

3. Another symptom of depression in cats is loss of appetite. The canned food and snacks that the cat loved to eat before are now unwilling to eat even if they are placed in front of it.

4. Unprovoked and easy-to-attack behavior. A cat that is usually docile and well-behaved attacks all people or other animals, including its owner, for no reason, and becomes extremely irritable, which shows that its depression is already serious.

Solutions to cat depression:

1. Enough companionship and attention. A cat's depression may be due to a lack of companionship from its owner. The owner should accompany the cat more, play interactive games, and hold the cat more. Make sure your cat gets all the love it needs to feel happy and safe.

2. Prevent the cat from being frightened. When the cat has not let down its guard and is still resistant to the surrounding environment and people, it is not allowed to bathe the cat. Avoid frightening the cat again and aggravating the symptoms of depression.

3. When a cat is severely depressed, it will not eat or drink, which will also cause its immunity to decrease. It is best to take it to the hospital for nutrient solution to maintain various body functions. Stable, it will start eating after the condition gradually improves.
