1. What should I do if the cat is stressed in the new environment?
The preventive effect of cat stress is far greater than the treatment, so the owner should pay more attention to the cat’s emotional changes, and once the cat is found to have mild stress symptoms, it should be comforted in time.
So when we bring the cat to the new home, the first thing the owner has to do is put the cat in a relatively quiet room or corner, and then look at it every so often (2-3 hours). See if the cat eats, drinks, and sleeps normally; if the owner has enough time, he can use snacks, catnip sticks, catnip and other things to attract the cat every 3 or 4 hours, so as to amuse the cat and let it be Unconsciously to adapt to the new environment and new owners. At the same time, during the period when the cat adapts to the new environment, the owner should try to avoid loud noises or other sounds to avoid secondary stress on the cat.

Third, how long does it take for the cat to recover from stress
The cat should The time of the stress response is mainly related to the cat’s personality and the influence of external environmental factors. There is no specific recovery time. There may be symptoms of stress for a long time, but generally it will be relieved or completely improved within a week. If the cat has adapted to the new environment and owner, but the symptoms of stress persist, it may be that the cat’s body has caused other diseases, and the owner should take it to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time.
