Analyze the events of the previous days – this makes it easier to identify annoying factors
In order to calm the cat, you will have to deal with the reasons that made the animal change. What triggers restless behavior?
- Stress. A sharp noise, the absence of owners, a trip or the appearance of a new pet – extraordinary events make pets nervous, and therefore behave differently.
- Fear. Aggression and anxiety is a defensive reaction of an animal that can be triggered by fright. Lumpy hair, dilated pupils, crooked body and tucked-in ears indicate that the cat is afraid and ready to defend itself.
- Sexual hunting. During “walks” pets do not control their behavior. They behave aggressively, shout loudly and shamelessly mark the territory, forgetting about the tray. Castration helps to solve this problem once and for all.
If the animal does not meet any of the above conditions, it is worth taking it to the veterinarian. Perhaps the reason for the bad behavior was illness: malaise, discomfort, painful sensations anger and frighten the pet.
If it is not possible to thoroughly solve the problems of the pet, it is recommended to give him sedatives of herbal origin. Their choice is determined by the problem: motion sickness in transport, stress, mating hunt or something else.
The composition of such drugs should include the following components:
- cat mint;
- hop;
- motherwort.
They gently affect the animal, gradually calming it down. Their disadvantage lies in the cumulative rather than instant effect. Therefore, before stressful situations, it is better to give your pet such a remedy in advance. Potent drugs are prescribed only by a veterinarian.
How to calm a cat when he is pissed off?
