Although our cat has the best life he could have, since we feed him, drink him, many pampering sessions and try to make him live like a king or queen, oddly enough, he also has reasons to be stressed.
So, if you need to know urgently how to calm a nervous cat, Do not miss this article.
There are many reasons why your cat may feel uncomfortable: from an unexpected visit to the sound of a storm. What to do in these cases? First and foremost: stay calm and be patient. It is not recommended to take him in your arms and try to calm him with words, and less if we see that he is becoming tense, that is, if he growls or snorts, since in this way we would only manage to complicate the situation. What can be done is play soft music, quiet, like classical music, with the volume low.
Another thing that can be done, if the cat is young, is to try to make it spend some time -even if it is a few minutes- to be with the visitors. Ask the people who come to visit you to give your furry a cat treat or a toy; that way he will soon accept them and, in the next few occasions, he will not hide under the bed trying to flee.
It is also very important to protect it from noise, especially from fireworks or thunderstorms. Cats have much more sensitive ears than ours, to the point that they are capable of hearing the sound of a mouse from 7m away, so on days when loud sounds are produced, the cat should be taken to a room, close the curtains, and turn on the radio or television so that you stop feeling the sounds that you don't like so much.
The trick to calm a nervous cat is in provide you with a quiet and safe place where you can go whenever you feel a little tense. Cheer up.
