The world can be a stressful place. Most cats lead happy lives, but modern life can be noisy and confusing.
Loud noises such as thunderstorms or fireworks are a common cause of fear or anxiety
From your new job to your new baby, even small lifestyle changes can prove stressful for your pet
Travelling with your pet can cause heightened fear and anxiety
After surgery, pets need to stay calm and rest to help recovery
The environmental changes your pet experiences when boarding or kennelling can be very stressful
Unfamiliar surroundings and having to build trust with new owners can result in stressful episodes
Cats are highly sensitive and territorial creatures, so even subtle changes in their environment can cause fear and stress.
If your cat demonstrates any of the following signs, it may indicate fear or anxiety
At VetPlus we believe vets are best placed to advise on the best course of action for your pet. Cats who show signs of fear when they have no reason to be scared could have a phobia. Phobias are irrational responses where their fear may be disproportionate to the situation. For example many people are scared of spiders (arachnophobia), even though most spiders pose very little actual risk to humans.
Our pets can also pick up on subtle changes in their environments that teach them when to expect a fearful situation. Repeated exposure to scary situations can cause a phobia to get even worse. For example if your pet finds going to the vets scary the first time, the next time they go and every time after that, they’ll expect a scary experience.
This is why we always recommend you ask your vet for help as soon as you suspect your pet is scared. Your vet is the best person to advise you on keeping your pet happy and healthy and because phobias do not tend to disappear over time by themselves.

There are a number of measures you can take that can reduce your cat’s anxiety levels. Lots of owners find it useful to use a combination of:
Try to work out what it is exactly that your cat is afraid of and then speak to your vet for guidance on what could make a difference long term. One of the main causes of feline stress stems from a multi-cat household, in which case mall changes around the home can make a big difference.
It is important to remember that managing behavioural issues can take a long time and patience, so do not lose heart if the problems do not disappear immediately.
