Avoid cats’ stress response and response measures! The so-called stress response means that the cat accidentally receives stimulation from the outside world, enters an excessive self-defense state, and overreacts to people or objects from the outside world, such as punching and kicking the owner, barking and howling at low high notes, becoming a typical crazy cat among evil cats. Or other dietary and mental abnormalities. There are many factors that can stimulate cats, such as thunder and a huge sound of tire blowout and the owner's unexpected touch. The cat is a cautious and sensitive animal, which is enough to scare it into a crazy cat.

Excessive tension in cats not only poses a threat to personal safety, but also terrifyingly, it causes great harm to the cat's own condition. Stress can cause cats to have increased blood pressure, blood sugar, and white blood cells. In addition, primary stress can secondary fatty liver in cats, causing jaundice and liver cell loss. Some cats may also develop lower urinary syndrome, self-damaging mental illness, etc. Therefore, it is crucial to avoid stress from cats.

Because cats are territorial consciousness, they are the boss in their own territory. If they change to a new environment, they will inevitably be timid and need time to adapt. Relatively speaking, kittens are easier to adapt to new homes than big cats, have less stress response, and have been faster in the past. The kitten that has just got off the plane doesn't have to be too nervous when he gets home, and keeps his eyes on his every move. Because cats are very sensitive animals, they can not only feel their owner's nervousness but also aggravate their nervousness. We southerners go to the north, or northerners come to the south, and the same goes for cats. The best way I have summarized myself is to let the cat stay alone in a quiet room and not let other cats meet with it. Get it water and toilet. Don't rush cat food. Cats who have just made long-distance trips can easily cause indigestion if they eat food immediately, especially kittens. It is necessary to give it to soft food that is easy to digest, such as canned or soaked cat food. Dry food can be given after 1-2 hours. If a cat has a good appetite, be careful not to eat too much. Generally speaking, kittens can adapt to it in 1-3 days. It should also be noted that cats who have just arrived home cannot take a shower immediately, and it will take at least 10-14 days.

If you change to a new environment, because the cat has reached a strange environment, it will also be a challenge to its physical condition. The environment and supplies that were familiar before no longer exist. Everything is a new beginning for it, and the cat's stress response will also be reflected. As a professional pet doctor, Zhang Xu told reporters that cat plague (detailed introduction), parasites, vomiting, fever, etc. are all stress reactions of cats. The symptoms that lurked in the body before may explode because they have reached an unfamiliar environment, so letting the cat rest becomes the key. Strange cats will also be stressed after being adopted by others. If the cat is very close to people outside but becomes nervous when he gets home, this is all attributed to the new environment being a trigger for it. First, the cat's "first room" should be arranged, and secondly, the cat should be familiar with some necessary places: cat toilets, water and food placement, etc.
