Stress Can Cause Cats To Go Off-Feed


Owning a cat can mean that you have to make a little extra effort to understand their sensitive behavior. Sudden changes in their environment if you’re moving to a new home, or if someone new comes along the house either a returning family member or even a baby can be stressful to cats. When cats go off-feed they will usually behave unusually – they will eliminate inappropriately, go hiding under the bed or furniture, or even destroy household furniture and effects, or worse run away for a few days.


If the behavior persists you may want to have your feline buddy checked with the veterinarian. If, however, your cat has been issued a clean bill of health by the vet, try to investigate what is causing your cat’s unusual behavior as there may be things around his environment that are stressing him out. Find out what it is and do your best to eliminate them, but this can be easier said than done as there are certain stressors that your cat has to get used to. A change in your pet’s appetite or eating habits should require a visit to your animal clinic Ashburn, VA.
