The reasons why cats suffer from 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 develop depression after being in a state of high tension for a long time.
2. Cats are lonely and have no one to accompany them, and cats often have stress reactions. However, owners always ignore the cat’s stress reactions, which may lead to depression in cats.
3. Lack of trace elements in cats can also cause depression.
4. The estrus period cannot be satisfied.
Symptoms of depression in cats:
1. Not interested in anything, not interested in activities, and not fond of eating.
2. Being overly picky about the hair on the body due to depression, chewing on the same spot all the time, or chewing on other things, and reducing sleep, etc.
Treatment methods for cat depression:
1. Spend more time with the cat and give it a sense of security. You can interact with the cat with snacks or use a cat teaser stick. Or use other toys to play with the cat, stimulating the cat’s desire to play, so that the cat no longer feels lonely. With timely care and attention, the cat is likely to be cured.
2. Take the cat out to relax more often, walk the cat outside appropriately, find new playmates or buy new toys for the cat.
3. Do not let cats come into contact with strangers at home. If strangers come to your home, you can put the cat in your own bedroom or your own bed to prevent strangers from contacting and teasing you.
4. When necessary, take it to the doctor to check the physical and mental health, and then treat it well.
