Why is my pet acting weird?
These are the biggest clues to health problems in cats, Dr. Mills says. People may notice their cat is hesitating to jump, not using the litter box, or being more lethargic than usual. Often, he says, these problems arise when cats feel stressed. Unlike dogs, who are mostly delighted to have their humans home full-time, cats feel imposed upon. Normally, they sleep during the day but with their people, their environment is noisier and more chaotic.
Pheromones—natural chemicals that animals secrete to communicate with each other—are available in sprays and plug-in diffusers, and Dr. Mills recommends these to help calm high-strung pets. Additionally, he says it's important to make sure they have at least one place they can go to enjoy time away from people. On top of that, they need to be stimulated physically and mentally, especially if they're indoor-only cats. "Get toys you can put food in that they have to roll around to get the food to fall out," he suggests. Bored dog on your hand? These are the 20 best puzzle toys for pups.
